Practical guidance, tailored support, online resources and evidence-based insights for local authorities implementing Best Start in Life plans.
Local authorities are tasked with delivering a substantial step change in early years outcomes to meet the government’s 75% good level of development target by 2028. Achieving this target requires not just ambitious, credible strategic plans at local authority level, but also effective delivery of these plans.
Nesta is providing a package of support to help local authorities turn Best Start in Life plans into effective action that improves outcomes for children.
