      <image:title>News - Being and Becoming a Froebelian Community of Evidenced Practice - Out today: Being and Becoming a Froebelian Community of Evidenced Practice</image:title>
      <image:caption>Split into three parts, this seminal text provides a contemporary account of Froebelian principles and practices, an overview of the global challenges that face young children and the educators that work with them, an illustrative and reflective narrative of the practice evidence that has emerged from three Froebelian research projects and demonstrations of how the application of the Froebelian Reflection with Guidance framework has inspired and developed the work of educators within this project. This is the latest title in the European Early Childhood Education Research Association’s (EECERA) Towards Ethical Praxis Series which reflects the latest developments and most current research and practice in early childhood education on a global level. It offers a unique fusion of research, theoretical, conceptual and philosophical perspectives, values and ethics, and professional practice.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Happy Retirement - Pete Sturgess, Foundation Phase lead at the Football Association</image:title>
      <image:caption>Has been a passionate advocate for play based, child led sporting experiences for young children and has always been ready to challenge the status quo in the interest of what those children need. Pete first crossed paths with CREC whilst exploring how to implement age appropriate experiences for young children playing football rather than simply distilling approaches used for older age groups. Pete’s passion for getting things right for all children is infectious, as is his belief that the right early years football experience will ultimately lead to massive benefits up the system. Through our connection with Pete, CREC has had the privilege of contributing to the development of The FA’s DNA (helping to embed key concepts of child competence, creativity and risk within the foundation phase element). Pete has also brought his experience and wisdom to bear on our MA programme, supporting students through a module on Physical Activity in the early years, focussing on aspects such as play, creativity, and the role of adult. Most recently CREC has supported the FA in evaluating its pilot early years programme, the next iteration of which we hope will be rolled out to clubs in the near future as this would indeed be a fitting legacy for Pete’s contributions to the national game and young children.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Happy Retirement - Pepita Hanna will be retiring as Associate Director of Arts Connect</image:title>
      <image:caption>A bridge organisation for the Arts Council, supporting children across the West Midlands to engage in arts and culture. Although her role covers children and young people of all ages, she is passionate about early years and has championed our age phase even when funders and policy makers have perhaps underappreciated it or overlooked it. It was through the Moonbeams programme (influenced by the creative approach to child-led development linked to the educational philosophy of Reggio Emilia) that CREC first met Pepita and it has been wonderful to take that journey with her through various iterations of the programme which has focussed on raising the profile of early years creativity, developing new sustainable practice by building the leadership skills of artists and educators, and addressing issues of quality and access. Most recently CREC helped support the Moonbeams Conference held by Arts Connect, and masterminded by Pepita, at the MAC in Birmingham. If you want to learn more about Pepita and her passion for early years and creativity she is forever immortalised on the CREC website in three episodes of the Moonbeams Early Years podcast series (where she is joined by CREC’s own Chris Pascal and Helen Lyndon among others!) (Pepita (Left) with CREC Trustee Helen Moylett (right) at the recent Moonbeams Conference)</image:caption>

      <image:title>About BECERA - About BECERA</image:title>
      <image:caption>BECERA is an independent self-funding organisation run by the Centre for Research in Early Childhood (CREC) which has dedicated itself to improving services for young children and families in the UK for more than 25 years. BECERA is for those early childhood practitioners, researchers and practitioner researchers working in the British Isles who want a space to meet, enquire and discuss issues relevant to their work with young children and families. It aims to stimulate, support, create and disseminate rigorous, grounded and conceptual knowledge and its applications to our early childhood services. It does this through an annual conference where research is presented and subjected to peer-review. BECERA is particularly interested in practitioner research and exploring paradigms and methodologies which impact directly on services. It is interested in how knowledge is constructed, who listens and who speaks and in capturing the voices of all, including parents and children. BECERA provides a unique British forum to bring together research, practice and policy and strengthen the early childhood research community in the vital contribution it makes to British practice and policy. The 16th annual BECERA Conference will be held on 16th February 2026. For more information please sign up to BECERA Newsletter.</image:caption>

      <image:title>SCITT Testimonials - “I have fully enjoyed my time at CREC and would recommend their SCITT to anyone looking at getting into teaching. The academic tutors and my placement mentors have been beyond supportive and tailored their learning to support each student's particular needs. I feel the course has prepared me for starting as an ECT and I would like to thank the team at CREC for their continued support, creative ways of teaching and their passion for the Early Years".</image:title>
