What a great two days. Blackpool, Lambeth, Bradford, Southend and Nottingham BetterStart all together for our Community of Practice.
Not just some great ideas shared, some problems and solutions shared too. Always proud to show off our services and meet our families.

Felt great to show @PeterWanless around all the fantastic work done in Blackpool parks with the @ParkRangersBPL. Proud to talk about all the opportunities for early years we’ve created in open spaces around the town @Merle_CECD @BetterStartBpl
