A Development & Learning Journey

From Birth to five – a guide for practitioners

This A4 full colour book is a guide for practitioners and as well as being available to purchase individually online, it is also available to authorities and other organisations for 'customised' production with your logo on. 

It was developed as a follow on from the original Helping Little Ones Bloom book (which is for birth to three years) by practitioners and early years advisors at Harrow Council and contains useful information about what we might expect children to be achieving in the first five years of their life. 

Based around the national framework it carries a six-page introduction, which looks at the components of the framework and how children can develop during this early and very important stage of their life. The rest of the book is in eleven sections which are broken down by age, the first section being birth to three months, and will help the reader to look at what a child of a certain age should be able to do and at what parents and practitioners might do to support the child and develop relationships with parents. It also carries ideas in each section for activities that you can do with the child to stimulate their development. The activities cover the four main aspects of the framework, which are communication, emotion, physical development and health.

For authorities and organisations wanting good literature for parents and practitioners, this publication offers you the chance to save on the costs normally associated with the development and production of a new booklet from scratch, because all of the set up work and content has been done in terms of copywriting and editing, design, artwork, proofing and final production. The book will be very useful to practitioners and others who are involved in the development of young children and it can also be 'customised ' for those who would like to 'brand' the publication and purchase in bulk (minimum 50 copies) for use in their own community (for instance you may wish to have copies in your setting, in children's centres or to give to registered childminders). Should you be interested, please contact us to discuss your needs further and to go through how we might 'customise' the publication for your use.  There are savings on the unit price for bulk 'customised' purchase.
