Britain's nursery problem: Parents still face 'childcare deserts'.

Nursery places can difficult to find, particularly in certain areas - so why have successive governments not yet found a solution?

Shhh! Don' tell anybody, but we are in the process of a ground-up redesign of our website to make our film-based learning resources easier for everyone to find.

In the meantime, we're aware that it can be hard to find things on our site. We'd love to help you find what you need.

Take a look around our library yourself. If you'd like help finding anything by film length, student age, subject, theme, activity, or anything else, drop us a note on Mastodon or through the contact section of our site, and we'll do our best to find you the very thing.

Also, if you're using resources as a grandparent, parent or babysitter, or otherwise outside a formal learning environment, we'd love to hear what you're using and how it works for you. Drop us a note here in the Fediverse or contact us through our site. /5
