I am thrilled to be taking on the responsibility of the early years and childcare. Education is at the heart of the Prime Minister’s commitment to making Britain a place where there is no limit on anyone’s ambition or what they can achieve – and it all begins with the early years.
We all know that children’s experiences in early years are hugely formative in so many ways. The wealth of evidence on the positive impact of good quality early learning demonstrates its value in setting children on a successful path in life and getting them ready for school.
In the weeks since taking on this role I’ve been speaking to many providers and I’ve been struck by the passion and entrepreneurialism in this sector. Every day, nursery workers, early years teachers and childminders are helping children learn, develop and flourish – deftly placing the building blocks for unlocking their talents in adult life. But you are also constantly evolving – bringing new approaches to child development and innovating the way your businesses are run. We want to support that passion and that enterprise.
