Please find below a comment from the Early Years Â黨ӰÊÓon the government's new 'Best Start in Life' strategy.

Neil Leitch, CEO of the Early Years Alliance, said:

"We have long said that if we are to have any chance of building and sustaining a quality, affordable and sustainable early years sector, we need a clear vision of what this looks like in practice. As such, we warmly welcome the publication of the new Best Start in Life strategy. 

"Ultimately, as is so often the case, the devil will be in the detail, and we’re clear that this strategy will only work if it is backed up with the tangible support – financial or otherwise – that early years providers and other bodies and professionals need to build an early years system that works for all families.

"But after years of calling for a long-term vision for the early years, there’s no doubt that this is a positive development, and we look forward to working with government to turn vision into reality."
