Following a competition, a panel of experts has accredited six apps, with a focus on early literacy, language and communication.
The apps are published on the Hungry Little Minds website https://hungrylittleminds.campaign.gov.uk
This gives parents access to video tips, advice and suggested games to help with early learning for their children from birth to five.
The DfE said the move was part of the Government’s drive to help parents make informed decisions about the use of technology in creating positive learning environments at home.
The expert panel was chaired by Jackie Marsh, professor of education at the University of Sheffield, and was appointed by the DfE. It included children’s digital media consultants, early learning charities and researchers at universities.
