Happy #NationalEarlyYearsTeacherDay!

To the superheroes in tiny chairs, with glitter on their sleeves and stories in their hearts — thank you.

You don’t just teach the ABCs — you nurture curiosity, build confidence, and help little ones feel safe, seen and loved.

The NCA warns of a disturbing rise in online “Com” gangs—groups of teenage boys sharing sadistic and misogynistic content that fuels real-world crimes, from cyber-attacks and fraud to serious violence and child abuse. Reports have surged sixfold in the UK since 2022.
