# Early years

This domain groups 12 approved service families into the
following repository-authored navigation processes:

- **Arrange childcare and early education** — 7 service families
- **Support early development and safety** — 5 service families

Open a process to browse its families, then open a family to inspect ordinary and
exception episodes. Source links remain nation- and provider-specific. This domain
does not imply that every person follows every route or that similar services are
equivalent across the United Kingdom.
