The contract was announced last week at the Early Childhood Forum's conference, 'Working with children birth to three', held in Birmingham. Ann Langston, project manager of the team that produced the framework, said it was 'great news for children and all the people who care for them'.
She added, 'The Birth to Three Matters pack has been welcomed overwhelmingly by practitioners. They are now very excited about the prospect of this training.'
The project's director, Professor Lesley Abbott, said the Department for Education and Skills 'clearly wants the training to roll out as quickly as possible'.
Letters will be sent out over the next few weeks inviting Early Years Development and Childcare Partnerships to nominate trainers to take part in one-day conferences across nine regions in England in January and February.
