The first five years count campaign (#firstfiveyearscount)
NDNA’s #firstfiveyearscount campaign has launched to celebrate the early years sector and all they do to make the first five years of a child’s life count.
NDNA are striving to:
- increase understanding of the importance of early childhood education
- better the perception of the early years workforce as educators of young children 0-5
- address the recruitment and retention crisis
- boost the positive feedback the workforce receives about their work
- support the uptake of early years places within settings.
As part of the campaign, the NDNA has produced toolkits for nurseries, posters, banners and other resources to promote the message, including a five-point pinwheel which signifies the first five years of a child’s life.
