@EduResAnS @ChrisCotF @UpstartScot @dnleslie @anneglennie @janine_leonard @ASNReformScot We know that brains rewire all the time. Why this particular age range? And why, if earlier is better, do countries with a later start to formal learning largely have better academic scores than ours?

Yes!!!!
Why are we so transfixed on doing so many interventions in the EYs. If we put more effort into reflecting on making our EYFS more centred around the child we wouldn’t need interventions. We just need to focus on what the children need in the NOW. Play, Love, Empathy & Joy

@tigerseye39 @RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret But nursery is funded for the same number of hours as school is (every child gets 30 hours free per week during term time in Scotland). And many nurseries also offer wrap around and holiday care. So less stress to find childcare too!

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret More time for play and development at this age may lead to better lifelong outcomes for mental health and academic achievement.
