A Little Bit About Us...
Welcome to early years at home from The Consortium. We are part of The Consortium for Purchasing and Distribution, an organisation focused on meeting the needs of our many customers in the Social Care, Education, Early Years and Training sectors. We are the largest independent supplier of education resources in the UK.
We successfully launched early years in June 2007 specifically to provide one-stop shop for everything an Early Years business setting needs. We have, through understanding the markets demands and listening to customer feedback, developed early years at home from The Consortium. A service dedicated to providing resources, ideas and support to childminders, sessional settings and parents who are caring for, and educating under 5’s.
We have been providing schools and colleges with all the supplies and services needed to operate on a daily basis, whilst teaching the national curriculum for almost 40 years now.. More recently, we have been making our presence known in other sectors including Early Years and Care.
We are different from other suppliers!
We care about our customers, and demonstrate this care and understanding in everything we do. We use our expertise to ensure our customers always have the right products and services, at the right time and at a price they can afford, by offering a unique one-stop shop.
