Managed Service on behalf of
Welcome to the Lincolnshire Birth
to Five Service Website
From this
site you can access guidance and advice on developing
high quality early years practice, as well as find out about a
range of training opportunities. Our aim is to support the
development of settings in order to promote excellent learning
experiences for all young children in Lincolnshire, which has a
long history of providing quality childcare and education. As a
Service, we believe that the early years of a child’s life are
vital. Children learn at such speed; devouring learning, delighting
in anything new and relishing challenge and experimentation
endlessly. Let us help them to learn.
The website has one clear purpose – to support
teaching and learning in Lincolnshire Settings by presenting all
practitioners throughout the county with information and
resources to aid effective planning, observation, assessment and
recording in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Over time, we hope to expand the range of information
available, so, if you are a Foundation Stage Practitioner,
please bookmark this page and visit this site again
soon. This is your site, built to support Practitioners
therefore if you have any ideas, are involved in
projects, or have anything you would like to share with the
Birth to Five Service, please click here to let us know. It is
important you give your name and setting details in any
communication.
The Birth to Five Service would like to thank
all the Lincolnshire Early Years Practitioners, Managers,
Consultants, Trainers and Head teachers who have contributed
towards the contents of this site.
