This one's for the kids

We are developing the 2022-2026 Early Years Plan

Draft plan consultation underway

We bring the draft plan back to you now to make sure we heard you properly, that we didn't miss anything, and to understand if the draft strategy has got the right balance.

We look forward to your comments and suggestions!
