Abstract
The Flying Start programme was launched by the Welsh Assembly Government in 2006/07 as a pilot with the aim ‘to make a decisive difference to the life chances of children aged under 4 in the areas which it runs’. This 2010 report presents the findings of the interim evaluation with regards to: the effectiveness of the programme in establishing the conditions necessary for later improvements in life chances, and whether it did so in ways that offered good value for money
