Sparking curiosity

In this issue we learn how settings can embrace science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM), and why they are essential skills, crucial for children. As part of our mental health and wellbeing series, we look at how to manage your finances while looking after your mental health at this tricky time of year. PACEY President, Penny Tassoni considers the important role practitioners play in supporting children to share successfully! We talked to speaker, author, and award-wining trainer Ben Kingston-Hughes about finding his vocation, who inspired him and why children need joy.
