Lee Mandley, Director of Services Industries, Childcare & Early Years and Science, at Suffolk New College

“Let’s Grow is an amazing resource in our early years training. Having access to the full range of activities and guidance helps students understand how to plan engaging, age-appropriate sessions for young children. The structured lesson ideas make planning for their placements so much easier and seeing how children interact with the fruit & veg babies at the heart of Let’s Grow —caring for them, using them in role-play, and even learning about emotions—shows students how powerful hands-on learning can be."
