Birth to Five Development Wheel^™

From Birth to five – a guide to child development for parents/carers  

This easy to use full colour wheel twists around to reveal the age section you need and has information on both sides. It has been developed as an easy to read and use tool for parents/carers that is designed to compliment our 'Development and Learning Journey' book for practitioners of children from birth to five. The wheel was produced with early years practitioners and as a follow on from the original Helping Little Ones Bloom book (which is for birth to three years). Written by practitioners and early years advisors it contains useful information about what we might expect children to be achieving in the first five years of their life.

Split into nine sections the moveable wheel twists round to the relevant age section - the first being birth to three months and the last being age four to five. On one side of the wheel there are general things that the child might/should be able to do at each age stage and there is also a list of things that the family can do to help the child, for each age group. The reverse side gives parents information about how to keep the child safe and healthy at each stage of their development from birth through to five years old. This was the first of our two wheels covering the early years and our other 'speech and language wheel' focuses on how young children will develop from recognition and movement, through to their talking and writing skills from an early age. It covers five areas which are: Attention & Listening; Social interaction; Play; Understanding; Expression and Talking. Click here for details about the Speech & Language wheel.

This simple to use one piece tool (measuring approx 230mm in diameter, so they are easy to carry around) comes laminated for a longer lifespan and all of the information contained within it was written by practitioners and early years advisors to ensure that it will meet the needs of not only parents and carers, but also practitioners, students and others working in early years.

ORGANISATIONS/AUTHORITIES
ALSO CHILDREN'S CENTRES/SETTINGS/EARLY YEARS PROFESSIONALS

We can now organise small quantities of 'customised' wheels (with your logo on). Minimum quantity only 100 (was 2000!). Click here for details. Wheels can be 'customised' for authorities/organisations who would like to 'brand' the publication with their logo and contact details on for use in their own community and commission bulk copies (for instance you may wish to have copies in each of your settings, in children's centres or to give to your registered childminders). This offers authorities the chance to save on the costs associated with the development and production of a new item like this, because all of the set up work has been done in terms of copywriting and editing, design, artwork, proofing and even the cutter guides to produce the wheel and rivet it together.

For organisations/authorities wishing to commission bulk 'customised' copies through KMMD, discounts apply and your wheels could be less than the retail price of £2.99. Your wheels will be 'customised' by tailoring the back with your own logo, contact details and colour scheme as per the samples shown here for Lancashire and Rutland Councils. To find out more and get a full price list click here or please use the ‘email enquiry form’ button and we will get KMMD to contact you to discuss your needs further. Please note that the minimum order for 'customised' wheels is now only 100. Larger quantities of 2000+ will work out at well under £2.99 each and they can cost as little as around £1 each if you order a larger bulk quantity, so this is a great chance to get hold of these wheels with your own details on at a very good price. For smaller quantities (not customised), please click here to visit the KMMD site to order .

Email enquiry for authorities/organisations

We now also have four other wheels to complete the 'family'.
