As the programme increases towards this year's target of 130,000 children, we've produced a guide which answers questions and provides a rich source of inspiration for good practice.
Building relationships with both parent and child will be key to success, and this idea underpins features written by experts including Penny Tassoni (on settling in and building relationships) and Vicky Hutchin (on planning).
