Early Years Foundation Stage conference 2023: Working together and making a difference

Every child thriving in an early years setting every day

Giving every child access to great learning and development opportunities in the early years is crucial to combatting education inequality: gaps in development between children from disadvantaged homes and their more affluent peers require early identification and intervention if they are to be swiftly addressed.

Chief Executive Officer of the Education Endowment Foundation, Professor Becky Francis CBE
