The early years, from birth to age five, are a crucial time in a child’s life. During this stage, children begin to explore the world around them, develop key skills, and build the foundations for learning and social development.
Getting the right support early can make a big difference, helping every child reach their full potential.
The law, including the Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015, highlights the importance of early identification and support to give children the best possible start.
High-quality early years support helps children grow in confidence, develop important skills, and prepare for the next stages of their education.
