The review will look at the skills and qualifications of the early years workforce, as well as the recruitment and retention of staff and career pathways.
It is being led by leading early education expert Professor Siraj of the Institute of Education at the University of London, a member of the research team that carried out the Effective Provision of Pre-School and Primary Education 3-11 (EPPE) longitudinal study.
