Peep Programmes

Peep programme help parents, carers and
practitioners work together to improve
young children’s learning and development

 

Peep programmes focus on:

  • sharing activities and information about child development that parents can easily use in everyday life
  • strengthening relationships – between parent and child, families and practitioners
  • valuing and building on what families already do.

Each programme contains child development information and low or no-cost activities, session plans, parent handouts and other resources. They are delivered by Peep-trained practitioners in group or 1-to-1 sessions with parents, carers and their babies or children, or with expectant parents.
Peep programmes can be used flexibly to meet local needs and support the home learning environment.

Our Practitioner Training courses covers the ‘why’, ‘what’ and ‘how’ for delivering each programme with families.

Baby Peep parent

Peep has enabled our school to forge even earlier, positive relationships with our parents over the year before their children start school. Our Transition into school sessions have been well received by both new parents and parents with children already in school. It’s been lovely to see the children’s confidence grow as the sessions have progressed.

Deputy Head, Primary School, Lancashire

The Peep Antenatal training was fantastic, I'd definitely recommend it. Peep is so informative for expectant parents and I think every new parent would benefit from it.

Family Support Worker, Home-Start Caithness

We love Peep, both of my boys have come from babies. I and they have gained so much. We sing the songs at bath time, teeth cleaning time and of course tidy up time, singing 'put the toys in the box' works every time. Thank you Peep.

I think it helped him a lot. The nursery were saying that he's changed so much, speaking more, coming in with ideas...
