Challenging the common notion that 'babies don't do anything', this innovative programme, which combines evidence-based research with excellence in early years practice, has led to significant changes in baby room environments and interactions with babies.

The joint project is run by Northamptonshire local authority's 'Learning Achievement and School Improvement' Early Years Team and Northamptonshire Educational Psychology Service.
