Start for Life – Supporting Parents in the Early Years

The government’s Start for Life programme brings together a range of advice and resources for parents and carers of babies and young children, covering areas such as child development, health, wellbeing and family support. Designed as an accessible, parent-friendly starting point, it offers guidance on key topics including feeding, sleep, communication and early learning.

While not a comprehensive professional toolkit, it provides a useful overview and signposts families to trusted information and services. It aligns closely with the wider focus on early help, prevention and family support, making it a helpful resource to share with parents.
