Partnership salute

Wednesday, May 8, 2002

I felt compelled to write in response to the feature about Early Years Development and Childcare Partnerships ('Fingers and thumbs?', 18 April). As the owner and manager of a private day nursery for the past 15 years, I have seen a lot of changes and would like to say that my local EYDCP, the Telford and Wrekin Early Years Partnership, has made a real difference to both the quality and quantity of early years provision in our area, through staff training and by supporting providers of early years provision in this area.

The EYDCP makes an effort to support and include all sectors, and its members actually listen to what providers have to say. I understand from providers in other areas that they are not so lucky.

So well done to the team.
