‘Every child deserves the best possible start in
life and support to fulfill their potential. A child’s
experience in the early years has a major impact on their
future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood
is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation
for children to make the most of their abilities and talents
as they grow up. When parents chose to use early years services
they want to know that provision will keep their children
safe and help them to thrive.’
