Great chat with @laurahallain.bsky.social today around the inspirations of Maya and Marley: The Great Big Tidy Up! So many layers to book that I hadn't fully appreciated before.
As always, a great conversation and looking forward to being able to share the podcast next year.

As my little boy was very tired this evening, we were just chilling and chatting and we started to come up with stories. We then asked Google Gemini if it could help us with a story and it did such a great job at giving us story starters, all through conversation with it. Really impressed.

Imagine 300 brand new nurseries bursting onto the scene by next September! The ambitious plan could be a game-changer for children. But is it the right move?
The idea promises brighter futures, but it's important to consider existing childcare providers too.
