Ensuring children get the best start

Over the past 20 years there has been an increase in inspection and testing in early years education. This leads to questions about what the advantages and aims of early years education are.

We have a moral responsibility to ask questions of what is going on in Early Years, not just accept it for what it is. If we want to ensure that children are getting the best start in life, then you have to take the system apart, look at it critically and ask difficult questions.” – Dr Guy Roberts-Holmes
