After that, the brain only keeps the pathways it uses most, meaning early experiences sculpt a child’s future.   ### Why Investing Matters Investing in early years delivers lasting benefits in education, health, employment and community life.  ## Our Model Our model is a flywheel where every part strengthens the next - hubs, programmes, partners, parents, learning and influence. The more it turns, the stronger it grows.  [Learn More](https://babyzone.org.uk/our-model) ![Flywheel](https://babyzone.org.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Flywheel-1.png?width=1545&height=2000&name=Flywheel-1.png "Flywheel") > ###### If we solve early years, we don’t just solve one of society’s problems – we can solve them all. > > ###### *Charles Mindenhall, Co-Founder & Chair, Babyzone* [Find your local Babyzone](https://babyzone.org.uk/visit-us) ## 2025/26 in Numbers ## 94,365 #### visits to Babyzone hubs ## 71% #### of families come from the most disadvantaged parts of society ## 7,891 #### free evidence-informed classes delivered to families ## 11 #### Babyzone locations open in the UK ## 300,000 #### interactions with families on WhatsApp ## 2.5 million #### pieces of content consumed on Baby Buddy ## Through short, practical modules and a buzzing online community, practitioners build confidence together.
