The Alliance’s new Early Adventures Baby and Toddler Toolkit has been developed to support both new and established baby and toddler groups and classes to deliver high-quality services to families and their local community.

The Toolkit includes a comprehensive Best Practice Guide, which is underpinned by the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework and includes information, advice and guidance on a wide range of practical topics including: insurance, financing, business structures, key legislation, food safety, health and safety, early development, activity ideas and ways to engage with families.

Alongside the guide, you will also benefit from a one-hour virtual consultation with one of the Alliance’s baby and toddler experts: this is a reflective conversation that will support you to navigate through the guide, focusing on the essential elements of managing a successful baby and toddler group.

Upon purchasing the Toolkit, you will be contacted by a member of the Alliance team who will work with you to arrange a suitable time for your consultation. They will also give you access to the Best Practice Guide and supporting resources, as well as a downloadable poster and website logo which can be used to promote the fact that the practice at your baby and toddler group or class is underpinned by the Best Practice Guide to both current and potential families.

If you would like to discuss the Toolkit further before purchasing, please do feel free to get in touch with us at connect@ eyalliance.org.uk.
