They will need to demonstrate how they have improved outcomes for all children, including children with special educational needs and disabilities. In addition, the successful providers will manage the children's centre building and be an active partner in the network of early childhood services organised through Bright Start Islington. ### The requirement Our duty is to ensure that universal and targeted early childhood services are made available for young children and their families, particularly for disadvantaged families, in order to improve outcomes and reduce inequalities in child development and school readiness. We are seeking to commission two organisations with relevant skills and knowledge that are able to demonstrate their experience to make a contribution to this core purpose by: • improving outcomes for children and families by offering high quality care and education services for children under 5 years in accordance with the council's early years admissions and charging policies; • ensuring local families have access to affordable, high quality provision and support, whatever the family circumstances; • managing the children's centre building including hosting Bright Start Islington integrated services; • being an active partner in Bright Start Islington, contributing expertise and working collaboratively to ensure local families can access the full range of services organised through Bright Start Islington. The providers must ensure that the service is provided in a non-discriminatory, non-patronising and professional manner by staff who are experienced, appropriately qualified and courteous. At all times, staff will need to demonstrate respect for the dignity and value of children and their parents/carers and sensitivity to their individual situation and experiences.
