Childcare and Early Education APPG

This forum will help you keep up to date regarding the work of the Childcare and Early Education APPG of which we are sponsors. The Early Years Alliance, the National Day Nurseries Association, CACHE, Tops Day Nurseries, Dingley's Promise and the Montessori Group are also sponsors, committed to making sure the voice of early years is heard in Parliament.

The APPG for Childcare and Early Education was constituted in September 2017 as a timely response to a growing number of issues facing the sector, including the Government’s 30-hour ‘free’ childcare policy, business rates, and VAT. This cross-party group provides a forum to constructively examine and debate the role that policy makers can play to support childcare and early education providers, and to help ensure that every child gets the best start in life.

I have written by findings below in a vaguely academic style, but I have ran out of time so haven't gone very in-depth or attempted any analysis: Nicky Morgan (Education Secretary) today affirmed the pledge to open 500 new free schools this parliament(1) claiming that those already set up ’are helping to raise standards in neighbouring schools’.
