Early help is key and it’s positive to see investment being done here. I’m still on the fence about school based nurseries as we can’t see that as the only answer but let’s try and work together. That’s what it should be about

Check out the Guide to Executive Function here: bit.ly/4gPsGXJ

Play Matters: Play advocacy and sharing of knowledge.
An overview of play matters and why the call to action was developed. It is all positive and we want to keep it that way too. Play is positive and advocating for it should be too.

When children play, they can reduce sources of stress, strengthen core life skills, and build responsive relationships with caring adults - all of which are core principles of early childhood development.

Thank you to everyone who came this evening to support the #PlayMatters call to action. It was so positive to hear all the aspects of play for children 0-8. Hear is to the best thing ever, connecting with other EY people showing that Play really does Matter.
