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.

Stop - don't go home for Christmas! Nursery World has just reported that a further 'short' consultation will be issued (probably next week) after your responses to the EYFS consultation earlier this year. The new consultation, according to NW, 'will look at specific aspects of the revised framework, and will be published alongside the Government's official response to the EYFS consultation'. So, not time to relax yet then!

The Ofsted annual report is now available here Some interesting key findings: * The proportion of early years providers judged as good or outstanding for overall effectiveness increased from 68% to 74%. This suggests that the providers inspected in this third year of inspections have benefitted from more time to embed the EYFS. * Early years providers perform les well in relation to the effectiveness of the self-evaluation and their engagement with parents than in any other aspect of provision * The better providers have a planned and systematic approach to children's learning and development, particularly in the areas of CLL.
