## Description
The Best Start Family Hubs Grant funding is a national government investment led by the Department for Education (DfE). It sits within the wider "Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life" strategy, published in July 2025, and the government's Plan for Change ambition to ensure 75% of children achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD) by 2028. The grant will expand and embed a local network of Best Start Family Hubs, prioritising areas of higher deprivation. This will be achieved by identifying and expanding hub sites, strengthening local partnerships across health, public health, education and the voluntary sector, and developing evidence‑based parenting and home learning environment interventions, particularly for families with babies and young children.
