Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to publish Sir David Bell's review of early years provision.

This government’s vision is for the early education and childcare system to give every child the best start in life. The department’s long term intention is to reform the early years system as the foundation of opportunity and life chances for children, underpinned by a properly rewarded and motivated workforce.

Sir David Bell’s review was conducted for the Labour Party prior to the general election. The findings and recommendations are informative for the department’s approach, and the department will set out more detail in due course.
