The third annual report for the national evaluation of A Better Start

This is the third annual report of findings in progress from the national evaluation of A Better Start. The report includes findings on child development outcomes and ways of supporting families with children aged 0-4 in the areas of diet and nutrition, communication and language, and social and emotional development. Our evaluation also reports on how A Better Start is achieving systems change across the early years sector. We report on findings from the third year of work on the national evaluation across each of the evaluation objectives. Our findings will be of relevance to those with an interest in early childhood development and in what works well in supporting parents/carers with children aged 0-4.
