Early Years Support and Moderation

High quality early years provision is key to enabling children to develop well, and to reach their potential. There is a wealth of evidence identifying the importance of the early stages of a child's life, and Medway Council recognises this importance within the Council Plan (2017/18 update); Supporting People to Realise their Potential is one of the Council's three core priorities.

The Early Years support and moderation service will provide a range of support to childcare settings, childminders and Early Help Services in Medway, as outlined in section three of this specification. Full service deliverables can be obtained from within the specification on the Kent Business Portal
