Nursery and Pre-School
WELCOME TO THE BBC CHILDREN IN NEED EARLY YEARS HOMEPAGE!
We’re asking you to get involved with our new fundraising campaign, Challenge Yourself to 25! It’s about choosing a fun sponsorable challenge – and doing it 25 times.
We think that the best and most fun way for nurseries and playgroups to get involved is to hold a Teddy Bears’ Picnic in honour of our fuzziest of friends, Pudsey Bear!
Right now we are only able to help 1 in 6 organisations who ask us for money. Your support matters more than ever before.

Our funding is supporting over 2,200 staff that enable and form positive relationships that support children and young people in the greatest need.
A donation of £4 could help to pay for an emotional wellbeing and mindfulness session for a young person.
