'The Birth to Three Matters' is a new framework designed by Sure Start with the purpose of providing support, information, guidance and challenge for all those with responsibilities for the care and education of babies.
The framework:-
- Values and celebrates babies and children
- Recognises individual efforts and achievements
- Acknowledges, values and supports the adults
- Provides opportunities for reflection on practice.
Four aspects which celebrate the skill and competence of babies and young children, highlighting the links between growth, learning development and the environment in which they are cared for.
These four Aspects are:
- A Strong Child
- A Skilful Communicator
- A Competent Learner
- A Healthy Child
Staff working in the under 3 years old groups have been trained by 'early years' and will continue to have their knowledge updated.
