Ladywell Pre-school in London was delighted to host an event with Neil Leitch CEO of the Alliance and shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson. Writing on Twitter, Bridget said: “Brilliant to visit Ladywell Pre-school, speaking to children, staff and parents. Parents are clear they want the government to prioritise early education and childcare. Labour will match that ambition with a new system from the end of parental leave to end to primary school.”

Children at Jellybabies Nursery and Pre-school in Rednal spent a week learning about Comic Relief and considering how they can help others. They also enjoyed playing with a Red Nose Day balloon. For the day itself, the children arrived at the setting dressed in their pyjamas and made optional donations to the charity.
