Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to Live their best life. In Derby we believe that this can be achieved through creating an ambitious and inclusive City; a place that celebrates, encourages and enables the success of all children and young people, where we hold high aspirations for all: an inclusive system where everyone can thrive and feel a strong sense of belonging; and every child is developing a sense of self, health, and wellbeing.Our draft Early Years 0 &ndash; 7 Strategy sets out how we will work together across the Early Years System to give all Derby children the start for life that they deserve. Setting out our ambitions from pre-birth to the end of key stage 1 will support all children to have equality of opportunity to be healthy, happy and safe.In developing the strategy, we&#39;ve built on the existing recognised strengths of the early years partnerships in the city to identify priorities, as well as those areas where we could collectively improve outcomes for children and families.
