Nursery World - Editor's View - Hurry to have an expert say on the Early Years Foundation Stage

The summer holidays are over, and we are already well into September. It's rather alarming, therefore, to remember that the deadline for responses to the Early Years Foundation Stage consultation is the end of this month.

As Wendy Scott and Anne O'Connor point out in this week's Analysis (see pages 10-11), many interested parties will have been on holiday since the consultation was announced on 2 August and will be returning to a hectic workload, with the priority to settle children in to new settings or stages.

Scant time, then, to get to grips with such an important, fundamental review, which will have such an effect on the experiences of young children.

Furthermore, as our authors explain, each response, whether from an individual or a whole organisation, counts as a single reply when the results are analysed. This makes it even more vital for everyone to have their say.
