The routine measurement of children’s developmental health varies across educational settings and systems. Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) is a routinely recorded measure child’s development completed at the end their first school year, for all children attending in England Wales. Despite widespread use research purposes, properties are unknown.

Many interventions that are delivered within public health services have little evidence of effect. Evaluating being as a part usual practice offers opportunities to improve the base health. However, such evaluation is challenging and requires integration research into system-wide practice.

However, unpicking the mechanisms of complex is often challenging in usual service settings where multiple services delivered concurrently. Furthermore, many locally developed and/or adapted have not undergone any evaluation, thus limiting evidence base available.

Abstract Background Early language difficulties are associated with poor school readiness and can impact lifelong attainment. The quality of the early home environment is linked to outcomes. However, few home-based interventions have sufficient evidence effectiveness in improving preschool children’s abilities. This study reports first stage evaluation a theory-based programme, Talking Together (developed delivered by BHT Education Training) given over 6 weeks families setting. We aimed test...
