Exciting milestones for Green Bean Studios and the Early Years sector!

Today marked an inspiring gathering at KPMG in Manchester for our Executive Roundtable, bringing together brilliant leaders across education, edutainment, media, and business.

We gathered to celebrate the launch of Green Bean & Me and highlight our strategic Intellectual Property (IP) agreement with Findel / Hope Education Group to deliver a new EdTech series.

Empowering the Next Generation: The Launch of 'Green Bean & Me'

5/10/2026

Comments

 
Exciting news is on the horizon! Green Bean Studios is thrilled to announce the upcoming executive launch of "Green Bean & Me," an innovative new EdTech subscription service created through a non-exclusive intellectual property partnership with the Findel Group. This milestone marks a significant step forward in our mission to enrich children's learning experiences and nurture early development.

Building a Sustainable Ecosystem for Early Learning
While the launch of "Green Bean & Me" is a major highlight, our inspiration runs much deeper. Over the years, Green Bean Studios has carefully cultivated a growing ecosystem cantered around empowering children. Recent statistics reveal ongoing year-on-year declines in early years progress—a trend we are passionately committed to reversing. Ensuring children are school-ready and well-prepared for future roles in the workforce and marketplace requires a unified, collective effort across families, educators, and communities.

Turning the Page: Strengthening Communities Through Literacy

29/9/2026

The Current Landscape: Why Early Literacy Matters

It was a pleasure attending the "Turning the Page: Strengthening Communities Through Literacy" event as a National Literacy Trust signature partner! Wonderful takeaways seeing how much great work is happening with regional and local businesses, charities, and leaders coming together to galvanise change.
​

Despite incredible work happening across local communities, early childhood development challenges remain pressing:
  • Over 2 million children in the UK currently experience language and communication delays.
  • Over 1 million young people are currently not in education, employment, or training.
  • Rectifying these early developmental, speech, and social care challenges costs the UK economy £17.8 billion annually.
Inspirational contributions from key speakers—including Helen Hayes MP (Chair of the Education Select Committee), Lucy Thomas (KPMG), Dan Scroggie (The Very Group), Ceri Berkovitch (National Literacy Trust), and Gareth Snell MP (Chair of the APPG on Literacy)—reinforced that tackling these hurdles requires a truly collective effort across business, education, and community spaces.

​

Following the launch of our landmark non-exclusive IP partnership with Hope Education Group, Findel, and EuHu, we are launching the Green Bean & Me EdTech Series.

  • Engaging visual and read-aloud storytelling
  • EYFS-aligned, SEND-friendly learning resources and teacher CPD tools
  • Interactive play, outdoor adventures, and eco-conscious resources
  • Children's podcasts, music, and media
Through Hope Education’s reach across 95% of UK schools and nurseries, Phase One introduces Baby Bean into early years settings nationwide—bringing early intervention directly to where it is needed most.
