Investing in high quality early years education has a huge impact on children’s attainment as they enter school.

Our most vulnerable children have the most to gain from excellent early years setting, with partnerships with parents a key component. We will:

• Increase our Early Years Pupil Premium to £1,000 per pupil per year.
• Raise the quality of early years provision and aim for every formal early years setting to employ at least one person who holds an Early Years Teacher qualification by 2022.
