Nursery World - New £1m programme to increase understanding of the Froebelian approach

A £1m funding programme from the Froebel Trust, launching this summer, aims to foster collaboration in the early years sector and provide training for more practitioners.

The new early years Froebelian funding programme will launch in the summer

The Froebel Trust funds practice development and research into education and learning in the early years and childhood, from birth to the age of eight.

Under the programme, two project teams – The Froebel Partnership team and the Froebelian Futures team, will receive funding to undertake intensive research, Froebelian practice development and community engagement projects over the next three years.

The two teams

Working across England and New Zealand, the Froebel Partnership team will be led by Sally Cave from Guildford Nursery School and Family Centre, Professor Chris Pascal from the Centre for Research in Early Childhood, and Anne Denham from AMA Associates in Auckland, an educational support service. They will work with schools and settings in England, the European Early Childhood Education Research Association and early learning associations – including the Kindergarten Associations across New Zealand and the New Zealand Ministry of Education.
