The Early Years Service has been renamed Starting Life Well Service. This reflects a shift in focus to support children in the early years to reach their full potential, regardless of their family income or background and that we continue to narrow the inequalities gap across the city and to help improve and enhance the lives and experiences of all children aged from birth to five years, in Salford.
We want all our children and young people to have the best start in life and to be able to lead safe, healthy, fulfilling lives. We want them to make a positive contribution to their communities and to society.
The provision of nursery education and childcare places supports many aspects of family life in Salford. Not only does it enhance children's development and educational achievement, but assists parents' economic needs, by helping them to work or train and develop professionally. Quality childcare provision can also provide opportunities for children's social development, positive play experiences and support for parents with their challenging but satisfying role of bringing up children in today's world.
