Chair of Early Education Julian Grenier confirmed that Ms Pacey, who has been chief executive for more than four years, is leaving to pursue other opportunities.
The charity’s major areas of work are to support and develop early years practitioners in the field, promote what happens in early years, and focus on what’s best for children and families.
In the past 18 months, Early Education’s work has included writing Development Matters, the non-statutory guidance for the EYFS, and contributing to the Nutbrown Review.
The early years organisation started in 1923 and celebrates its 90th anniversary this year. It started life as the National Association of Nursery Schools, founded by Margaret McMillan, who opened England’s first nursery school in 1914. The organisation now represents a wide range of early years practitioners and professionals from a range of different agencies.
