Nursery World Awards 2023 – Working with Parents

Award Winners
WINNER – The Indigo Childcare Group – Early Years, Glasgow

Indigo Childcare Group is a social enterprise that reaches beyond the nursery and is making a positive difference to families in some of the most deprived areas of Glasgow. It supports parents’ understanding of their child’s learning and development and the important part they play in improving their child’s life chances by giving them the best start in life through a love of learning.

Part of the service includes a Family Matters-Loving Language strand, which provides universal and targeted support for children and families in speech, language and communication. Partnership includes stay-and-play sessions and a helpline. This strand became a particular focus post-Covid when the impact of lockdowns on children’s communication and speech was significant. Funding was secured to employ a speech and language therapist to support the team, children, families and the community to have a better understanding of speech, language and communication development.
