Kindling is an Early Years training project that builds partnerships between Arts and Cultural organisations and the Early Years Sector, developing creative and critical thinking for Somerset’s under 5s, advocating creative excellence and disseminating experiences at a national level.

Kindling also offers strategic support and brokering to enable funding opportunities for Somerset’s under 5s and their families to experience excellent art.

Funded by the Arts Council England to be the first point of contact for Early Years creativity in Somerset, Kindling was set up to increase the breadth and the awareness of Early Years creativity in the county.

Kindling also offers training and signposting for artists, practitioners and arts organisations; and deliver a regular programme of cross artform workshops and courses with partners such as SCIL, Forest Schools, Children’s Centres and arts organisations.
