Early Start Plashet
Parents and carers are able to meet many of their own needs through self-help; fathers and male carers/workers are as valued as mothers and female carers/workers; there is a sense of community and families have an effective voice in the shaping of services and their environment; babies and children are recognised as significant members of the community whose contribution is encouraged and recognised; babies and children are recognised as having rights and needs separate from those of adults; the work and achievements of parents and carers are valued, respected and supported; high quality child care and play facilities meet needs and are planned and delivered in consultation with young children, as well as their parents; the isolation of parents, carers and children is a thing of the past.
