The National Children’s Bureau’s vision is for a country where children have the best start in life. This must encompass both education and health outcomes, as well as direct support for their families.
The prime minster has publicly committed to increasing the number of children reaching a Good Level of Development (GLD) at age 5 by 2028. This is assessed during the reception year of primary school, but this milestone cannot be for schools alone to deliver.
We recently concluded our work on the A Better Start project, a 10-year programme funded by the National Lottery where we supported the Lambeth Early Action Partnership (LEAP) – one of five partnerships in England – to work with children and families, policy-makers and practitioners to test new ways of making support and services for families stronger, so that children can have the best start in life.
