Kate Middleton went to Foxcubs Nursery, an Ofsted outstanding run by the Early Years Alliance (EYA) yesterday (Wednesday 18 January) where staff, parents and children shared their experiences of the early years and discussed the value of early education.
Alliance chief executive Neil Leitch also attended the visit and took the opportunity to thank the Princess for her ongoing work to highlight the importance of early education, and briefly discussed their #WeAreEducators campaign, which aims to recognise those working in the early years as educational professionals.
Speaking about the visit on Twitter, the Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) said, ‘Learning through play at Foxcubs Nursery! Outstanding early years settings like this play a huge role in positively shaping a child’s development. The collaboration between staff and parents is just one of the ways children here are supported in their first five years.’
