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.
