It has been great to see experts across the #EarlyYears sector coming together to work on a single, shared definition of what being #ReadyForSchool means. Great information & great support resources – a demonstration that we are stronger together! startingreception.co.uk

Thank you, thank you so very much Geth for your epic Comic Relief skate - you look broken and there are tears all round from team Dingley's Promise. Sending much love for a speedy recovery... and huge thanks from our team, the children and their families.

Hearing about how critical high quality #training is in the #earlyyears to close the gap for the most disadvantaged children. Supporting #children with #SEND is a common thread, which is obviously a key Dingley's Promise focus. dingley.org.uk/training 💙

Thank you Tes magazine for raising awareness of the importance of specialist #earlyyears settings that build wider #inclusion. If specialist provision is vital after age 5, and we know early intervention is critical for child outcomes, why not in #earlyyears? tes.com/magazine/news/…

Nothing justifies killing more than 20,000 children. Nothing justifies burning children alive. Nothing justifies starving nearly a million children. Nothing. Not self defense. Not human shields. Not a damn thing.
