In October 2023, the Labour Party announced a review of early years provision in England, chaired by former Ofsted chief inspector, Sir David Bell.
EPI has responded to the call for contributions to the review with our submission, based on our research and analyses.
Our response covers the following:
- Eligibility for, access to, and affordability of early education and childcare (ECEC) provision for children aged 0-4.
- Ways to increase the quality of provision in early years, both inside and beyond the school system.
- A long-term plan for the early years’ workforce
