Children and young people

£3.174 million investment approved to create nursery places, expand childcare and enhance specialist SEND support across Central Bedfordshire.

As part of our commitment to supporting local families during the early stages of a child’s development, we've commissioned the EasyPeasy app.

Families across Central Bedfordshire are being invited to attend a series of drop-in sessions offering support to help them access funded childcare and early education.

Young musicians supported by our Inspiring Music service took to the stage at the first BLMK Battle of the Bands Regional Final last month.

Central Bedfordshire Council has approved a refreshed Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Strategy.

Children needing mainstream school support, families affected by domestic abuse, and young people in care will get renewed support under new Central Bedfordshire Council plans.

Families across Central Bedfordshire will soon find it easier to access help and advice in the early years of their child’s life.

We've published our new Children and Young People’s Plan, setting out how we, with partners, will work together to support children and young people across the area.

We’ve agreed to accept £6.5m capital funding from DfE to create more specialist places for children and young people with SEND.

We’re backing a cross-party campaign calling for fairer school funding and urgent reform to tackle the growing crisis in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
