The Flying Start childcare offer has been developed using learning from research that focuses on improving the life chances of children. To make sure the childcare is of a high quality, it needs to have good staff that understand children and their development, an environment where children are safe to explore and have different experiences for them to be able to learn about the world around them. For children to be able to access this learning fully, the evidence is that shorter more often and higher quality childcare sessions are the key, and this will lead to the best outcomes for the children. As directed by Welsh Government, Flying Start childcare sessions are 2.5 hours per day over 5 days.
