Early Years education lays the foundation for a child's lifelong education and wellbeing. To ensure this, effective leadership is needed to overcome the hurdles currently facing the Early Years workforce, across all settings.
Early Years education has shifted significantly in recent years: from being viewed as an optional extra, to now being better recognised as an integral part of a child’s education. This sector has been deemed crucial to realising many of the government's aims around levelling up, and we’ve seen an increased focus on the Early Years as part of Ofsted’s new five-year strategy to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our pupils.
