As part of our commitment to supporting local families during the early stages of a child’s development, we've commissioned the EasyPeasy app.
Find out more about the app – EasyPeasy
The app is now available to parents, carers and early years practitioners across Central Bedfordshire, helping families with children aged 0 to 5 turn everyday parenting moments into playful learning opportunities.
EasyPeasy brings together the best ideas, advice, and inspiration from a diverse community of parents, experts, and brands supporting families with children aged 0 to 5 during the crucial early years.
Parents can access thousands of simple, fun, and educational parenting tips and activities, tailored to their child’s age and development stage, designed to use everyday materials that families already have access to at home.
The app includes information, activities, and tips on a range of topics including:
- wellbeing
- bedtime
- nutrition
- speech and language
- mindfulness
The EasyPeasy app also allows parents and carers to create and share their own parenting tips and experiences, building peer-to-peer support systems in local communities.
Councillor Gareth Mackey, our Executive Member for Children’s Services, said:
Supporting children in their early years is one of the most important things we can do as a council, and we know that parents and carers play the biggest role in helping children learn and develop.
I am really excited to see an easy-to-use resource that takes the guesswork out of supporting young children’s learning and development. The EasyPeasy app gives families easy access to practical advice, activities and ideas they can use every day at home, helping to build confidence and make learning fun.
I would encourage parents and carers of young children across Central Bedfordshire to download the app and make the most of the free support available.
Residents can download the EasyPeasy app from Apple's App Store or the Google Play store on their mobile devices now.
