The coalition, convened by charitable foundation Kindred2, has identified a series of what it is calling ‘practical and affordable options' for improved early years funding in England, published within an analysis by Frontier Economics.
Members of the coalition include Early Education and nursery groups LEYF and Ark Start.
The analysis, which has been published ahead of the chancellor’s Budget on Thursday (17 November), is based on current Government spending on childcare - over £5bn a year - but the modelling shows how ‘significant rebalancing’ could better support working families and improve outcomes for children, including those that are disadvantaged.
It is supported by Leeds Beckett University, The International Montessori Institute, Nesta, Save the Children, The Sutton Trust and HFL Education.
