An Equal Start Improving Outcomes in Children’s Centres

This work identifies the most important outcomes Children’s Centres should be striving for in order to give all children positive early-years experiences. We draw together the best academic evidence, the views of practitioners and parents, and the work that government continues to take forward around the early years. We recognise the value of many of the existing national and local frameworks. Our project adds to the debate by drawing those together and emphasises the need to
focus on supporting good parenting and the environment in which parents live and work.
