📍 Core takeaway: early-years commitment must sit across all of government — health, DfE, Treasury, local authorities, communities — not just in isolated programmes.

The APPG is quickly becoming a vital space for evidence-driven, cross-party progress. Energising to be part of this effort. ✨

3️⃣ #Reach: families least connected to services often face the highest long-term costs.
4️⃣ #SEND: needs must be recognised from birth, not just at school entry.

I highlighted four priorities for a modern, equitable early-years system ⬇️
1️⃣ #Workforce: recruitment, retention, and clarity on who delivers what from pregnancy–age 2.
2️⃣ #Integration: reduce the maze; rebuild universal, joined-up support.

The discussion moved far beyond childcare → into pregnancy, parental leave, early relational health, family hubs, developmental milestones… and yes, Sure Start, still one of the clearest examples of what universal, integrated support can achieve when government works as one. 🔗
