We’re calling on Bridget Phillipson to rethink approach to early years.
Children need play, not pressure.
The science is clear, school readiness shouldn’t come at the cost of child development.

@NHSBSA_LSF Are there any requirements regarding what you do after you finish your course, for example do you have to work in the NHS for a set period of time after qualifying?

What’s really “heartbreaking” is actually that our policy makers still insist upon adapting the children to meet the demands of the curriculum, rather than realise they actually need to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of children.
Heartbreaking.
These are the consequences of the Tories not putting in place a proper recovery plan for after the pandemic.
Through our Plan for Change, including key early language interventions, Labour will get a record share of children school-ready.

@st_links I’m super interested in this but will be travelling to my holiday on this day! Will the session be recorded and watched later, or is it live attendees only?
@EYAlliance Of course this is the case. Is it not obvious to everyone here that the Early Years sector and everyone that works in it will always be viewed as “below” those delivering “proper education”? 😡
As it’s getting closer to Christmas @SwailesRuth and I are giving away one of our best sellers. Like, retweet and share before the 19th December. One person will find out on the evening of the 19th. Early Childhood Theories Today https://t.co/1M6wjPJ6XE
I’d prefer to see schools prioritising health and rest over dragging your kids to school when they’re ill or need a mental health day. Then we might not have the same toxicity in the workplace when it comes to taking time off for your well-being.
Is it just me, or are attendance prizes in primary school the actual worst? The kids don’t decide whether they go school or not at that age, parents make that decision. So young children have to watch their peers winning prizes & they don’t, when they have no control over it.
