Early Years Foundation Stage and Childcare
The role of the Early Years Foundation Stage and Childcare Team
in Cheshire East is to lead quality improvement for children from
birth to age five in all in private, voluntary, independent and
maintained settings (including Children’s Centres, reception
classes and the Maintained Nursery School) and in any childcare
provision for children up to and including the age of 14 (or 17,
for disabled children). The team manages the reform of Early Years
Funding, the supply, take-up and sufficiency of early learning and
childcare places.
The Family Information Service,
provides information, advice and guidance for parents, carers,
children and young people aged 0 - 19 years and professionals
working with them.

Bookstart 2010
National BookStart Day was on Friday June 11 2010.
This was a national event and all early years providers are
encouraged to celebrate by organising a morning of events centered
around a rhyme time. The theme this year was At the
Seaside.
There is more information on the
BookStart website, with rhyme sheets, posters, and guidance on
planning and running the event.
These materials have been put together by Early Years
Consultants to support early years providers in planning and
presenting the Bookstart Day event.
