I’m delighted to have the opportunity to introduce myself in writing to the readers of Nursery World. My first few weeks at the Department for Education have been a whirlwind of activity, and I’ve been given a very warm welcome by everyone I’ve met in that time. I am in no doubt about the enormous difference you make in the lives of our youngest children.
Already I am hearing of the dedication and passion you put into your work, and the support you give the children in your care. In amongst the many briefings and meetings that inevitably accompany a new job, I have made a point of meeting with as many councils and childcare providers as possible in these early weeks, to hear directly from the people on the ground. We share a desire to make sure that no child is at a disadvantage, regardless of their circumstances.
