A framework to support children in their earliest years

Primarily aimed at practitioners, Birth to three provides information on child development, effective practice, examples of play activities to promote play and learning, guidance on planning and resourcing and meeting diverse needs. The framework also reflects the diversity of types of organised provision for children in this age group and recognises the importance of wider issues including equal opportunities and relationships with parents.

Working with Kids is one of our partners.

Their web site contains a range of interesting and relevant articles and further links to jobs with young people, qualifications and advice on issues affecting work with children and young people.
