Let’s see if he can start supporting early years properly and support the dying sector and pay us a fair wage where we can then put that into our teams and enhance our settings. Maybe if he looked at Switzerland and other countries that have a better education system than ours. 

Children are too young at four/five to start school. Since Covid we are still playing catch-up with some children. Let’s keep them in smaller settings nurturing them, after all they are the next generation. Put your money where your mouth is Keir. Don’t ruin the early years sector, we are just about holding on as it is. Tackle the issues we have, support us, work with us ALL. SEND is a major issue and it needs urgent attention, we can’t keep neglecting our children.
