The Birth to Five Service - Early Years Consultant (Welfare)

The Birth to Five Service welcomes a team of new staff, formerly Childcare Development Officers, who will support existing colleagues from the Service, and work with providers to improve quality and outcomes for children.

The new team will focus on the welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and provide settings with an understanding of the legal requirements set out in the EYFS. This will ensure practitioners create environments which are welcoming, safe and stimulating, and where children are able to enjoy learning through play, to grow in confidence, and to fulfil their potential.
