In the mid-2000s, following our birth-to-three research, we began to examine practice in early childhood education and care (ECEC) for children up to two years of age in day nurseries in South East England. This research became formalised as the original Baby Room Project when the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation agreed to fund two phases of research and development work, starting in 2009.
Our intention was to better understand practice with babies and to work with practitioners to research and support their work. The project also supported opportunities for participants to develop networks across different settings in order to discuss practice, research evidence, policies, theories and the principles that shape this.
