Your Child's Early Learning and Care: birth to five

The first few years of a child’s life are a precious time. So if parents are looking for early learning and childcare, it is important that it's in a stimulating environment with adults who are warm and who care.

This booklet lists the options available to parents, tells them about all the measures in place to make sure providers offer children fun and play, and keep them safe. It also contains information on free entitlement, tax credit support and other ways to help pay for it.

This will make a difference to helping parents make the right choice and give them the confidence that whatever they choose, their baby or child will be happy, safe, learning and developing in a way that is right for them.

Please contact us if you would like a copy of this booklet.
