RESCUE AND REFORM:
A Manifesto to Transform Early Education and Childcare
Our manifesto calls on all political parties to put early education and childcare at the heart of their plans for equality, opportunity and growth.
High quality early education and childcare provides children with the foundations for lifelong success and a social infrastructure on which families, employers and the wider economy relies.
Despite having so much to be proud of, our current early education and childcare system is underfunded, unequal and inaccessible to the people that need it the most. Continuing with the current model is not an option.
Working together for an early education and childcare sector that delivers for our children, for parents, and for the economy.
The Early Education and Childcare Coalition unites the voices of parents, children, providers, those working in the sector and the wider business community.
Our vision is of an early education and childcare sector that provides high-quality, affordable provision for all families in all communities, and with it, good pay, conditions, and funding for those providing that education and care.
Together we’re using our collective voice and robust research to build public and political support for a sector that underpins all of our lives.
