Welcome back after the summer holidays!

With the start of the new academic year and the roll-out its become apparent the extent of the hard work and good planning which has been undertaken by the Early Years sector in Waltham Forest, both to deliver the new free entitlement but also, and more importantly the outstanding outcomes you have achieved for the children of Waltham Forest.

Once again, the numbers of children achieving the Good Level of Development in LBWF is one of the highest in the Country and we have been visited by national researchers who wanted to know what we do and how we do it!

We know that it is the people across the early years sector in Waltham Forest,  who work hard every day to meet the needs of children, to support parents and to encourage early learning, curiosity and good development who are the secret of the successes in our Early Years outcomes and thank you so much for everything you do as part of the Early Years delivery team in this Borough.
