Early Years, Childcare & Every Child Matters

In the chapter ‘Early years, childcare and Every Child Matters’, Joan Santer and Lindey Cookson consider the early years area. Having located this in its historical and policy context, they describe and reflect upon the current position. Issues they then highlight include the possible negative impacts on children of an ‘outcome driven’ Early Years Foundation Stage, and the uncertain impact of the newly – introduced Early Years Professionals.
