What support can I get from the Early Years Service?<br />
In Bath and North East Somerset the <strong>Quest</strong> framework comes with a one hour<br />
briefing session to explain how it works.<br />
Follow up email and telephone support will be available from the Early Years<br />
Service. Further options for support will be explained at the introductory meeting.<br />
We hope you enjoy using <strong>Quest</strong> to evaluate your practice; celebrating your<br />
strengths, identifying areas to develop and ensuring that the child is kept at the<br />
heart of all that you do.<br />
With thanks to the following early years settings which trialled and contributed ideas<br />
to the making of <strong>Quest</strong>: Barnaby Pre-school, Free Rangers Nursery, Timsbury<br />
Pre-school, St Keyna Primary School Nursery, St Saviour’s Primary School Nursery,<br />
and Queen’s Road Pre-school.<br />
