A request….with winter coming, we are needing blankets for the children when they sleep. With the new safer sleeping guidelines that have just come in, it is recommended that we use cellular blankets. We will need approx 75 blankets to cater for all our sleepers to have their own blanket for hygiene reasons so thought it was worth asking all our wonderful families if they had any unwanted/no longer used cellular blankets that they could donate to us please? The blankets need to be at least 1m x 1m in size to fit our bed mats.
Any donations gratefully received!

Sarah's daughter, Jade, is currently completing a PhD at UEA and needs some help to gather data so if you could spare a little bit of time, it would be really appreciated!

At the UEA Developmental Lab, we are investigating how babies and toddlers learn that different objects in the world belong to the same groups or categories. We are interested in how this links to their everyday experiences with different objects as well as their language development.

We are asking parents of children aged between 6 and 24 months to fill out a 30-45 minute online questionnaire to provide information about your child’s language development and their experiences with a selection of different objects/animals.

You can also enter our raffle to win one of five £20 cash prizes! A new winner will be randomly selected at the end of each month!

Follow this link to take part:

Survey for parents aged 6 to 24 months asking about different experiences with objects to investigate how this links to language development.
