A national tragedy of the stark public sector cuts during the austerity era was the decimation of early years sure start centres: a huge blow for a generation of children. More evidence that those sure start centres improved children's life chances.

Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight. ~ Mem Fox

[Anne Longfield @annelongfield]

Cutting early help and programmes that prevent explotation raises risks and will end up costing more over time. Pressures on council budgets are unsustainable. Another round of national austerity would be a disaster for vulnerable children and families. https://t.co/HR2TOBxkxi
