At LEYF, we do all we can in our 21 community nurseries to provide children with endless inspiration when parents are at work or can’t be around for some other reason.

All the same, we believe good parenting is the best possible gift you can give any child, with all the love and care that implies. But with so much conflicting advice out there – and so little if any real training or preparation for one of life's toughest occupations – where do you begin?

To help you quickly find your 'good parenting' feet, we have compiled a short list of what our staff consider some of the best and most practical things you can do now to give your child the best start in life.  More importantly, we want you to tell us which you think is the single most important - so vote now!
