THINK ABOUT IT

Congratulations to Julian Grenier and Nursery World for presenting two reflective, measured articles about the state of early years (10 and 17 January).

Julian Grenier has captured the flux situation we find ourselves in, as well as many of the attitudes that contribute to our circumstances. It is crucial that we all hold firm to our principles and pedagogy for the benefit of young children and families (established by the pioneers such as Froebel, Steiner, Montessori, McMillan and Isaacs), whatever phase, school, centre or setting we are based in.

It is also crucial to keep an open mind and measured view of the future. We have experienced many changes and continue to have a great opportunity to make a huge difference to all our futures and transform learning and care relationships both inside and outside early years by enhancing the chances of all children.
