Our vision and aims: We are committed to ensuring each individual child grows up happy, healthy and with an excellent education which prepares them for the next stage in their lives. At the heart of our vision we recognise that the best way to help families is to support them to identify their own strengths and build on what works. We believe that forming strong relationships will enable us to build networks and resilience, building on the power of connections between families, neighbours, learning, jobs and communities. The Best Start in Life guarantee: The best start in life guarantee consists of five areas. We believe that we are always considering these factors when delivering/ planning activities and services to our community neighbourhood. We will: Ensure children who are entitled to free 15 hours free child care are gaining the help and support needed to secure a nursery placement.
