High-quality care
The child’s experience must always be central to the thinking of every practitioner.
Babies, toddlers and young children thrive when they are loved and well cared for.
High-quality care is consistent and should be based on a thorough understanding of child development. Effective practitioners are therefore responsive to children and babies. They understand that toddlers are learning to be independent, so they will sometimes get frustrated.
Practitioners know that starting school, and all the other transitions in the early years, are big steps for small children.
