Growing Minds aims to improve school readiness in two areas of disadvantage by providing a continuum of support for families from birth until their child is five. It is a place-based, universal initiative, led by trusted third sector delivery organisations, which complements and enhances the statutory provision available to families from Health, Education and Social Care. Growing Minds was initiated by the Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF) in 2019. It was launched in January 2020 as an ambitious, seven-year project which families would come to trust as part of the fabric of their community, with their needs and voices at its heart. There was also the aspiration to provide a model which could be implemented nationally. Although, almost from the outset, Growing Minds was significantly disrupted by Covid, it is now firmly established in Littlemore and Berinsfield. However, the need for support has increased due to the extraordinary pressures that families have faced during the pandemic; for example, the percentage of pupils at John Henry Newman (Littlemore) achieving/exceeding the expected standard at the end of reception has fallen from 57% in 2019 to 11% in 2021 and from 70% to 50% at Abbey Woods (Berinsfield). As delivery partners, we also learnt a great deal during the last two years which has informed the work we will carry out this year, and our plans for the future of the project. In 2022/23 we envisage that Growing Minds will move through three, overlapping, stages: Transition – from the auspices of OCF to a partnership led by Peeple, Home-Start Oxford and the Berin Centre; and from an approach dominated by the pandemic to a post-pandemic recovery phase. Consolidation – of the model, embedding the learning from the first two years of the project with the systems and infrastructure to enable an effective and sustainable menu of support for families. Growth – with more families involved as beneficiaries but also in the design of services, and towards a model that that can inform the evolving landscape of early years services nationally and the development of Family Hubs locally in Oxfordshire. This year we will: • establish the project systems and infrastructure • recruit a Project Manager (funding dependant) • strengthen referrals routes into Growing Minds from the Registry service, midwifery and the health visiting team • recruit new cohorts of families with children born 1.1.22 – 31.12.22 (Cohort 3) and 1.1.23 – 31.3.23 (Cohort 4) • recruit additional families into Cohorts 1 (born 2020), 2 (2021), A (2018), B (2019) • provide the Imagination Library (12 free books pa posted to each registered child) • offer a Welcome Visit to every new family to share information about Growing Minds, book sharing and a welcome pack (including their first Imagination Library book). The visit may take place at the family’s home, at the Berin Centre or other community venue. If a family is not available for a visit, the information will be shared during a phone contact or online. • provide sustained one-to-one family support to families with highest level of need • deliver and support the delivery of Peep Learning Together sessions (these will be one-to-one, groups or via a Stay and Play) • deliver three interactive, online newsletters to all registered families • provide a closed Growing Minds Facebook Page for each area • build on links with partner professionals for mutual referrals/signposting • support the uptake free early education and childcare • continue to initiate partnerships that bring enriched learning opportunities to Littlemore and Berinsfield children (e.g. City Farm, Story Museum, Active Oxfordshire, Oxford University development study & play resources) • encourage families to engage with additional activities which support a range of needs (e.g. Community Larders, hardship support, addiction, speech and language, mental health services) • design and distribute an annual evaluation questionnaire to all registered families • use elements of Storytelling methodology and case studies to gather evidence of impact to add to quantitative data • commission an independent evaluation • hold bi-annual Learning Days which will include funders, and guests such as the Suffolk Growing Minds project and Thrive at Five.
