About the Best Start Partnership
About Us
The Best Start Partnership work together for babies, young children and their families to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive in their earliest years.
We work across traditional boundaries between government departments and partner agencies in the public, private, voluntary, and community sectors.
Together, drawing on the voices of babies, young
children and their families, we drive change in early years, implement new approaches, deliver pilot programs, and develop new ways for different departments and services to work together.
Our Programmes
The Best Start Partnership brings together the voices of children and families with representatives from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors in the development, implementation and evaluation of government strategy and policy.
Our Vision
We appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of life and are aware that the quality of childhood experience has lifelong consequences. We want to provide opportunities for all children to become confident and resilient individuals, successful learners, and responsible citizens and that they have safe, stable, stimulating, and nurturing relationships with their parents and/or carers.
All our children deserve to have the best start in life, growing up in an environment that nurtures their development, derives safety and security from their parents and care givers, accesses high quality early years services and encourages them to aspire for the future and their ability to achieve them. What children experience in their earliest years is key to their success in adulthood.
Our vision is for Jersey to be the best place for all children to grow up and our mission is to make Jersey a child and family friendly island
We recognise that all parents want the best for their children and value the vital role played by parents and carers in securing the best outcomes for them in early childhood. During the early years adults have significant impact on children’s health and physical development, social, emotional, and personal learning and on the development of their language and communication skills.
We believe that working together with families, communities, and partner agencies in an integrated way, will deliver high quality services which will meet the needs of all our children.
