Supporting child development in the early years
“Since going to the Everton Children and Family Centre, Daniel just seems happier. He’s more confident, polite and courteous. But if I hadn’t been able to get him a free childcare place, I wouldn’t have been able to afford to send him.” Annabel Muir
A child's early experiences and the environment in which they live and learn during their early years have a profound impact on their subsequent lives. That is why over the last decade we have introduced a range of policies to help parents give their children the best start in life.
In this chapter, we explain why this has been a policy priority and show how improving early years provision has made a real difference to families everywhere. More importantly, we set out how we are going to take this work forward with new policies that reinforce our commitment to giving children that start, unlock the talents of families everywhere, and ensure that children from disadvantaged backgrounds have the same opportunities as their peers.
