Best Start in Life - A Simple Guide for Parents
The Department for Education’s “Best Start in Life” message is about helping every child get the strongest possible start during their early years.
What it means for parents
- Early years matter most
The first few years of a child’s life are key for learning, language, and confidence. - Talk, play, and read every day
Simple daily activities help children develop communication and thinking skills. - Healthy routines help learning
Good sleep, balanced meals, and active play support growth and behaviour. - Emotional wellbeing is important
Children do best when they feel safe, loved, and understood. - Early education supports development
Nurseries and childcare settings help children build social skills and prepare for school. - Parents make the biggest difference
Everyday moments at home have a major impact on a child’s future. - Get support early if needed
Help is available for learning, development, and family wellbeing.
In short
Small, everyday things at home make a big difference to a child’s future success. This video summerises what you can do to get your child ready for school
