‘A game-changer for children and families.

"Research from @theifs.bsky.social found recently that Sure Start children’s centres in England generated £2 of financial benefits for every £1 in costs" Less a matter of whether we can afford Sure Start, rather can we afford NOT to bring it back? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

The kids helped their Dad make my favourite lunch. We have a tradition called #PrankSunday in our house. It's usually pretty tedious. But massively impressed with their apple 'chips', yoghurt & satsuma 'fried egg'.
