Realising the Ambition: Being Me

Realising the Ambition: Being Me is the national guidance on early years practice for Scotland. This practice guidance document sets out expectations and aims relating to child development, which are based on research and evidence. 

Realising the Ambition focuses on the following three things to achieve its aims:

• Interactions

• Experiences

• Spaces

It considers ways within these three areas that practitioners can give babies and young children the best chances to learn and grow.

Realising the Ambition looks at children's development from their first few days of life, through to their first few days in primary school. This time in a child's education is categorised in Scotland as Early Learning and Childcare.
