'This book is a welcome addition to the field of Early Childhood
studies and would appeal to both students and professionals working
with children and families in any area. The format of the book is
clear and the style of writing is very readable and engaging' -
ESCalate ` In this excellent book two of the principal
investigators from the huge national evaluation of Sure Start bring
together key findings of ''what works'' as the local programmes are
turned into children's centres and rolled out across England.
Chapters on all aspects of Sure Start and children's centres
reflect the services themselves in providing a valuable ''one stop
shop'' for those who want to understand how to work effectively
with young children and their parents' - Dame Gillian Pugh,
Visiting Professor, Institute of Education, University of London
This book sets out important insights gained from the National
Evaluation of Sure Start (NESS). The contributors present the
effects of Sure Start from a range of perspectives and explore the
successful and problematic aspects of the programme with its vision
of improving the life chances of the most disadvantaged families.
They also map and evaluate the progression of the programme into
Children's Centres and Extended Schools. Each contributor provides
an overview of their specialist area before outlining the findings
from the study and its implications for developing Children's
Services. These areas include: - Ethnicity - Childcare - Parents -
Special Needs - Maternity Services - Domestic Violence - Buildings
and Spaces. The chapters set out the practical lessons learned from
these areas for practitioners, professionals and policy makers in
the field of children's services, as well as those involved in the
setting up of Children's Centres and reform of multi-agency
children's services. The book will be relevant to undergraduate
students on Childhood Studies Degrees, Early Years Professional
Foundation Degrees students, postgraduate students on National
Qualification for Managers of Children's Centres and Masters
related to Integrated Children's Services. It is also for those
with an interest in anti-poverty intervention programmes for young
children and their families around the world.
