A child’s early years are arguably the most important in the formation of their minds and bodies, so the quality of early years education should be paramount.

Whether we have consensus on what is needed for this vital age group, the priority areas of improvement, and how we address inequity of early learning experiences are all conversations at the heart of episode 9 of Brighter Futures.

Joining us on this podcast are Gill Jones MBE - Busy Bees Nurseries/ex-Ofsted, Jan Dubiel - Early Childhood Education Specialist/Consultant and Lyn Challender - Programme Director at EDT.

This episode covers

• The strengths found in early years education, and priority areas for improving it
• Whether we have consensus on what matters most in this age range
• The value that should be placed on that which we cannot quantify
• Inequities in the access to enriching early learning experiences
