As Nursery World went to press, children's secretary Ed Balls was due to reveal details to MPs on Tuesday.
The plan will also include a review of what primary school children are taught, and issues such as the impact of advertising amid concerns about the 'commercialisation of childhood'.
Mr Balls also pledged £90m for short breaks for disabled children at an End Child Poverty event on Monday. The money will be distributed by the UK-wide Family Fund, which receives core funding from the DCSF to make grants to disabled children.
Under the scheme, families with disabled children can apply for money for family holidays, driving lessons, computers and other items.
