Dingley's Promise

Calling Dingley Families! Could you spare some time to help shape the future of Dingley’s Promise and ensure that the voices of our families are heard? We'd love to hear from you #parentvoice #SEND

A good day in the #Westminster sunshine, talking to MPs about how we can ensure every child with #SEND gets the best start in life. Dingley's Promise are encouraged by the Government's clear recognition of the importance of #earlyyears in life outcomes. We hope there will be more detail soon on how much of the £1 billion of the new funding for the SEND system will be allocated to this critical stage of a child's life. Thank you to Peter Swallow and Luke Murphy who are committed to championing children and families.

We’re looking for dedicated, enthusiastic people to join our teams of early years educators within our Worcester centre, opening early next year. You’ll be providing children with SEND the opportunity to learn and develop through an enriched and varied curriculum, supporting their developmental progress and helping them to achieve their full potential.

Happy Diwali to all our families and supporters celebrating today!

We're pleased to hear that an increase of £1bn has been announced for children with special educational needs and disabilities in the budget today. We're looking forward to working with the government to ensure that the early years are represented and that all children with SEND get the best start in life.

Our CEO Catherine was delighted to be part of the PACEY Childcare and Education Conference panel today. The links between SEND and poverty are widely recognised and SEND must be at the forefront of our discussions when finding solutions which meet the needs of our most disadvantaged children. #Pacey #earlyyears #earlyyearsSEND
