We would wish all children to have secure relationships with family, friends and carers, be eager, excited, curious and engaged in learning, have self-confidence, be able to co-operate and communicate socially and have the best possible health and development.
      
      Our vision is for Sandwell's children and young people to have the best start in life and for them to be nurtured and supported by those who care for them so that they will develop into healthy, socially responsible and achieving adults who, in turn, show the same level of care when raising their own families
