The early years agenda survey covers the five policy areas of funding, qualifications, schools, childminder agencies and Ofsted.
It asks practitioners to indicate whether or not they agree with a variety of Government decisions and plans on these topics, including the introduction of early years teachers and early years educators, the removal of ratios for out-of-hours providers, proposals to inspect only a sample of registered childminders, and making Ofsted ‘the sole arbiter of quality’.
It also invites respondents to describe the most positive and negative aspects of working in the early years sector.
The results will underpin the Alliance's forthcoming early years manifesto for Government, a plan of action for the future of the sector which will form the centrepiece of the alliance’s annual member event in Birmingham on 6 June.
