SEED: Latest reports include focus on good early years practice

Families Provision Child Development Practice
Tailoring practice to children’s needs, a skilled and experienced workforce, and an open and reflective culture are highlighted as key in new research on good practice in early education.

The report on the features of good practice is one of four from the longitudinal Study of Early Education and Development (SEED) published today.

SEED is following 6,000 children from the age of two to seven, the end of Key Stage 1. The study is being carried out by NatCen Social Research, working with the University of Oxford, Action for Children and Frontier Economics, on behalf of the Department for Education.

The other reports on meeting the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities in the early years, and experiences of the early years pupil premium are also by  NatCen Social Research.
