First 5

First 5 is a whole-of-Government strategy to improve the lives of babies, young children and their families. It is a ten-year plan to help make sure all children have positive early experiences and get a great start in life. 

​

​Childminders can get ideas of activities to support and encourage children’s interests on the Preschool at Home Hub on the First 5 Website.

​

A key objective of First 5 is to improve Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for all those who work in early learning and care and school-age childcare settings.  

​

Childminders can access childminding specific resources and information in relation to Covid–19 on the First 5 website.
