Membership

Early Education acts as an independent voice for the rights of families and children to the highest quality care and educational experiences. It has members from all sectors of the early years and provides targeted, cutting edge training using the full range of experience of academics, practitioners, policy makers and consultants. Early Education is also committed to working with local authorities to assist them in the implementation of the Childrens Agenda for the early years. It offers evidence-based, policy relevant and child focussed advice to a range of staff working to raise standards for our youngest children.
