👶🏽NEW: Investing in high-quality, universal early years education would pay for itself.
Our new analysis shows how early years education is likely the highest-returning investment a government can make - even when funded entirely through borrowing.

As Early Educators continue to gather and share their knowledge and enthusiasm for doing the right thing by our children. Let us hope and believe that @scotgov will do the same. It is time for a #kindergartenstage in #Scotland

I have a few minutes
to talk about
why it's important
for under-5s to talk.
I think how under-5s grow.
How do their minds grow?.
How do they find out about
love, hunger, fun.
How do they figure
gravity or winter.
Talking - and singing
will help their minds
do that, I say.
A great overview from Claire Crawford and Laura Outhwaite of the evidence of the impact of ECEC on children and on parental working.

Do you know a child starting school in September?
Did you realise they will sit a government test in English and maths (Baseline test) in their first few weeks?
Heres the truth about #RBA
Please share with fellow parents 🙂
