Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life is a new Government policy that brings together family services, providing high-quality support to parents, babies and children from pregnancy to age five.

This includes:

Best Start Family Hubs in every Local Authority including strengthened health services
making it easier and more affordable for children to access early education and care
improving the quality of education that children receive in early years settings and reception classes

The aim of the strategy is to ensure that every child has the best start in life. It includes the target that at least 75% of children nationally will achieve a good level of development at the end of their reception year.

In Cambridgeshire we are implementing the Best Start in Life Strategy. Our Best Start in Life Delivery plan explains how we will do this. There is also a summary version of the plan.

Our vision for Cambridgeshire is to create a healthy, fair and sustainable place to live.
