Our early years toolkit is full of resources to help you develop early years activities and programmes, to engage children from birth to five years old.

Thanks to previous generous support from Arts Council England over several years, we established a reputation for excellence and innovation in early years learning in museums and developed a unique offer for our youngest visitors. Although the ACE funding has now ended, we continue to build on our success and remain committed to providing an excellent experience for children under five.

London Museum's early years toolkit contains a wealth of content including:

  • a captivating film showing children’s learning in action at London Museum Docklands
  • a range of inspiring case studies from museums and galleries across the UK
  • our top tips for working with young children
  • articles by early years specialists
  • practical resources to download

So whether you are thinking of developing early years activities for the first time, or looking to enhance existing provision, you will find something to meet your needs.
