About us
Thrive at Five is at an exciting stage, coming up to their 5th birthday. We have grown rapidly over that time and are now expanding into our third and fourth regions, with a growing team of nearly 40 across the country.
Our mission is to help children develop strong foundations for life and learning, in and alongside communities where families face the most challenges.
We do this in two key ways: we empower parents and carers as primary influencers of child development, equipping them with the tools and support they need to be the best they can be for their children. We also foster collaboration across public, private and voluntary sectors to create a more joined-up, effective early years system. Everything we do is in partnership with the whole community, including senior decision makers, local professionals working with families, parents and carers.
