We are a charity which supports early education and funds research into children’s learning from birth to eight years.
About us
The experiences we have as young children shape the rest of our lives. The Froebel Trust funds research into children’s learning from birth to eight years and supports high quality early education in the UK and around the world. Our charity’s work is based on the principles of Friedrich Froebel (1782 - 1852), the inventor of kindergartens and a pioneer of early childhood education and care. Froebel’s work and writing changed the way we think about and value early childhood. We believe that Froebel’s focus on the importance of play, learning through nature, practical hands-on learning and nurturing a child’s connection to their community is more relevant now than ever. What we do: • We are the only grant making trust in the UK which exclusively funds early years practice and early childhood research. • We provide inspiring training courses for anyone who works with young children. • We support parents, carers and families who want to find out more about our approach to early learning, play and creativity. This account is monitored by the Froebel Trust team Mon - Fri during office hours (9am to 5pm). You can also contact us at office@froebeltrust.org.uk

New Froebel Trust podcast episode released today considers how educators can support young children with additional needs in early years settings & schools. Featuring a panel of special guests: Dr Agnes Agyepong (The Black child SEND Report), Janice Marriott (Tuffkid Nursery, London) and Eve Mawby Whistler (Froebel Trust Travelling Tutor) At a time of year when many young children are joining settings and schools for the first time - this podcast episode explores how educators can support and welcome every child. How can educators today ensure that they are offering a truly inclusive environment which allows all children to play and learn? "One of the key Froebelian principles is starting where the learner is at, letting the child be the stage they are at and not focusing constantly on pushing them to reach the next stage... A Froebelian approach is all about respecting diversity, respecting that all children are different..."
