What our partners say about us

There's almost no one who says early years is a bad idea. But we've ended up in this incredibly strange situation where we talk about these really important years, and yet the policy attention is so disconnected. We have occasional little flurries of activity, but no real breakthrough moment. The only way to really change that is to show it can be done. That's why initiatives like Babyzone are so crucial. They're not waiting for a piece of policy or a budget. They're going out there and making this happen. Joe Lane, Deputy Director, Children's Commissioner's Office
It's clearly a national movement now. Anyone who's come into contact with Babyzone has this infectious, can-do attitude. But the greatest impact I get is knowing they're actually trying to address systemic failings that have become accepted in our society. Leon Crosby, CEO, Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone
Parents have this misconception that if your child isn't old enough to understand the story or respond verbally, there's no point in reading to them. But even if all they're doing is chewing the pages whilst you point at 'this is a ball, this is an apple'—it matters enormously. Books bring vocabulary and language structures that would never come up in everyday life. It comes down to organisations like Babyzone who form that bridge between research and practice. They're showing parents what works, demonstrating and encouraging them to take on board the messages we've learned from research in a way that's straightforward and at just the right level. Kaili Clackson, Senior Research Fellow, University of Cambridge
Babyzone staff give us a list of families and items they need. Our volunteers pack and deliver them to Babyzone centres. The feedback is that this really encourages families who might be struggling financially to connect and get more out of the incredible provision that Babyzone provides. Sophie Livingstone, CEO, Little Village
The partnership started in 2019 when Future Youth Zone hosted a pilot of Babyzone one day a week. Six years later, Babyzone is now operating in seven different sites across the UK. It's amazing to see how an opportunity was scaled to where we are today. Gershom Clarke, Interim CEO, Future Youth Zone
All the research I've done on adolescent development, you can trace so much of it back to what happened in the early years. Parents' mental health is just as important as their children's, and that plays out right through to adolescence. The impact Babyzone can make is big by making very small changes—it's that interaction between parents and children that is so important. Lorraine Candy, Parenting Author and Expert
The opportunity came up for Babyzone to come north, and we were really excited because the community needed something like this. Word of mouth is travelling fast—we've seen interest take off from our first session to our second to our third. Duane Jeffers, Head of Programmes, Blackburn Youth Zone & Sikander Ali, Head of Operations, Wigan Youth Zone
