Get ready for Chatterbox Challenge!

Early years settings are reminded to sign up to take part in I CAN's Chatterbox Challenge, which runs from 1-7 February.

Nurseries, childminding groups and pre-schools are invited to take part in the annual event, which aims to encourage children under-five to sing and rhyme to raise money to support I CAN’s work with children with speech, language and communication difficulties.

The theme of this year’s Challenge, sponsored by Openreach, is ‘Kids in Motion - Get Active and Make Chatter Matter’, inspired by the Olympics this summer.
