A coalition of early years and childcare organisations and charities have come together to challenge the Government to invest in an early education system that works for all.
The Early Education and Childcare Coalition (EECC), made up of more than 30 organisations and charities across England, is calling on the Government and all political parties to prioritise early years education and childcare at the next general election.
The coalition says it will ‘work with all political parties to shape the future of policy’, bringing insight and learning from experts in the sector as well as those with lived experience of the challenges on the ground.’
It will be carrying out research into public models of funding, as well as look at how to scale the early years workforce to meet expected increased demand for care when the expanded funded entitlement comes in. The coalition will also publish a report into public attitudes towards early education.
