What our customers say
“ESPO has been one of our key suppliers for the last few years. There is a wide range of resource which fits our requirements. The team is knowledgeable about early years and constantly updates and provides new resources in their range which really meet what we are trying to achieve in each of our nurseries. Our Account Manager is so helpful. They are at the end of the phone if needed, they know our nurseries, make good suggestions and are always willing to help.
It is helpful to have a growing range of resources on next day or short delivery times, this is particularly useful when we have a new acquisition.”
Quality Assurance Manager, RAFAKidz
“We are a longstanding customer of ESPO and choose to work with them because of their product range and very helpful staff. They provide a variety of early years resources at competitive rates with good availability and fast delivery, having their own delivery fleet is a huge advantage. We get peace of mind knowing that our spend is compliant and provides an easy solution across our nursery group.”

Start saying ‘yes to more’
With My School Fund, both the school/nursery and the individual benefit! When an individual shops in participating stores, they receive 2% cash back on their spend in the form of eGift vouchers and 1% of their spend goes straight to their chosen school or nursery!
You can sign up your school/nursery for free and use a wide range of free, downloadable resources to help advertise your involvement to staff and families. The more people you get involved and linking to your school/ nursery, the more funds you’ll earn.
