Peep (Peers Early Education Partnership)
Peep is for parents/carers and their children from birth to four years and is a structured activity to promote learning together and recognises and supports parents to be their child's first educator. The sessions are relaxed and fun and offer a variety of activities; stories, songs, messy play and painting. Sessions also give parents ideas and activities to take home turning every day situations into a learning opportunity for their child.

Peep can also be accredited through Open College Network if parents wish to produce a little evidence to create a portfolio of their activities and learning. 1-1 support is offered to parents by our Family Learning Worker, Andrea Lawson. She is our trained assess and can assist in developing a small portfolio and then assesses progression until the award is complete. Evaluation comments from participants who have completed this qualification have been thrilled and have suggested that this is a worthwhile qualification.
