Doing it ourselves: imagining better childcare

Doing it ourselves: imagining better childcare

An exhibition from 23 July – 19 September 2019

In the late 1970s, a group of parents and toddlers came together to create a unique parent-led co-operative nursery in Walthamstow.

In this new exhibition you will discover the inspiring story of the First Neighbourhood Co-operative Nursery which brings the nursery back to life using oral history, photography, film and archive documents.

• On Tuesday 30 July, we will be offering free art activities with Scribble & Smudge for children and accompanying adults, all ages welcome. Drop in and join the fun between 10 am – 2:30 pm.
• On Saturday 14 September 1:30 – 4:30 pm,There will be discussions on childcare past and present and speakers including Jackie Fulton who was one of the people who started the First Neighbourhood Co-operative Nursery, and Lucie Stephens from the New Economic’s Foundation who are starting a new parent-led nursery in Deptford. There will be family art activities led by the brilliant Lesley from Scribble and Smudge, plus an hour long sound exploration workshop from Soundhoppers. Meet people interested in discussing the future of childcare. Buffet lunch and refreshments provided. Please help spread the word!
