The Department for Education funded campaign is being led by the Fatherhood Institute. Its aim is to increase the number of men working in early years settings, as well as provide support to men already working in the sector.
The new MITEY website includes a charter for nurseries, pre-schools and childminders to sign up to, pledging their support for men in the early years.
David Wright, owner of Paint Pots Nurseries in Southampton, Shivum Kakkad, director of Puddleducks Nurseries in London, Northumberland County Council’s childcare development consultant Theresa Iley and Acorn Early Years Foundation’s HR manager Kieran Glackin, are among those that have already signed up to the charter.
