Best Start Family Hubs Announcement

Big news yesterday with the announcement of new Best Start Family Hubs - designed to give every child the best start in life and provide joined-up support for families.

This builds on the legacy of the old Sure Start programme of the last Labour Government - one of the defining legacies of New Labour that the Tory Government ripped apart.

🏡 1,000 Best Start Hubs will open by 2028

🏫 More nursery and school partnerships to expand local early years places

🧑‍🏫 £4,500 tax-free payments to attract early years teachers to the communities that need them most

In Suffolk Coastal, this means we’ll see new family hubs that will be rolled out to support local children and families, ensuring that young people get the best start in life.

This is how we deliver fairness, security, and opportunity for working families - building on the legacy of Sure Start and making sure no one is left behind.
