👏 Russell Downs Recognised at the 2026 Day Nursery Awards
We’re incredibly proud to share that Russell Downs has been named the 2026 Male Childcare Award winner at this year’s Day Nursery Awards.
We don’t currently have any active members in #Bristol - which means we can’t recommend an inclusive setting there to one of our highly experienced educators. A reminder that being part of our family of inclusive employers ensures you don’t miss out on such opportunities.
The master of diversity and inclusion, @ClaudioSisera, just got a masterful caricature! We're all about connecting people, whether it's through links or through art!

A huge thank you to Ben and the amazing Step Up team for continuing to create spaces where all educators feel seen, heard, and empowered.
💛 Here’s to more courageous collaboration this year!

#MCTJ#EarlyYearsLeadership
This year, we’ve contributed to both their virtual and face-to-face events, helping to spark real conversations about gender diversity and the power of representation in education.
Yesterday marked a powerful first for us. 🎖️
Our brilliant student mentor, @Kleavo91, proudly exhibited at the Armed Forces Day in partnership with the Early Years Inclusion Team at @MyDoncaster - and what a day it was!
@Kleavo91 @MyDoncaster This marks the beginning of an exciting new campaign focused on retraining veterans into meaningful careers in education - helping them bring their skills, values, and leadership into early years settings where they can make a real difference.
Just been invited to an Essential Knowledge Briefing by @MyDoncaster to showcase the benefits of our brand-new partnership, and what an inspiring moment it was!
It was particularly exciting to see such a positive response from Doncaster’s brilliant male early years professionals, who we’ll be working closely with to shape inclusive, welcoming spaces for all.
Yesterday’s session on fatherhood was nothing short of insightful. @Mr_PaintPots brought the perfect balance of research-backed knowledge and heartfelt personal experience as both a father and grandfather. 👨👧👦📚
