As part of the government's plan for change and their strategy to ensure every child has the best start in life, they have developed the Best Start in Life service. This service acts as a central hub to support and guide parents from pregnancy through childcare and up to starting school, helping children get the best possible beginning in life.
This initiative is crucial because parents often express that they are uncertain about what they are entitled to or how to find information regarding available advice and support.
To address this issue, the government has developed the Best Start in Life newsletter. Subscribing to this newsletter is one of the best ways for parents to stay informed about the various services and resources available to them.
You can sign up for this service and access all the resources on offer via the Best Start in Life hub below.
This service is designed to help parents understand and navigate the available resources. It provides support and advice aimed at breaking down barriers to opportunities and increasing the number of children achieving a good level of development. By using this service, parents will be better equipped to learn about and access services that can positively impact their child and family.
