#EYTalking 28th January 2014 Co-hosted by Lucy Powell the Shadow Minster for Childcare and Early Years
Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell I'm here and ready for #EYTalking for the next hour EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Welcome Lucy!! Early Years sector please share your issues & concerns with Lucy! #EYTalking Lincs Montessori @LincsMont All the best for #EYtalking later. Keen to pose question to @LucyMPowell - would a Labour govt review funding levels for 'free' entitlement? Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell I know many in the sector have concerns re. 2 year olds in school. We would appreciate your take on this. #EYTalking Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell Hi Lucy Will Labour increase funding for 25 hrs of #childcare Current funding is too low and unsustainable for us #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @Sue_Cowley I agree. I also share concerns about too much "schoolification" of early years: play etc important to learning #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @signoramac I know it's an issue. Can't make funding commitments now but I want it to be a real offer. Will work with sector #eytalking Simona McKenzie @signoramac @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell Do you agree with Baroness Morgan and #truss school is best for 2yo? #eytalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @EYTalking welcome Lucy. Enjoy our lively sector help make childcare an economic solution for working women and social mobility Esther O'Connor @EstherOConnor5 @Sue_Cowley @EYTalking @LucyMPowell some are doing a great job! Need to use expertise to influence others#EYTalking Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell Should we build a 'top down' sector, or support the EY sector we already have? Too early for school environment? #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @LincsMont support gov's 2 yr old offer but have concerns abt capacity. Our priority is extension of 3/4 yr offer #EYTalking Laura Henry @LauraChildcare @LucyMPowell Concerned about the lack of funding for ongoing CPD - noticing the impact on quality. Thoughts on this? #EYTalking

Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @signoramac @Sue_Cowley no, some school nurseries may be able to accommodate 2yr olds, but at that age need play, space & 1 to 1 #EYTalking Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell @signoramac 1 to 1 for vulnerable 2 yo is tricky on 5 an hour, can only manage by staff taking low wages. #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell question by @LincsMont With no extra funding for Primary childcare guarantee 86 in schls - how will schls deliver? #EYTalking Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell #EYTalking how do we tackle the lack of application of attachment theory in early years settings? Simona McKenzie @signoramac @SChristophy @LucyMPowell We need to allow more continuity of care for #attachments as in CMs settings #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @signoramac @SChristophy yes agree #EYTalking Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYtalking @LucyMPowell So much research that under 3's best placed in home based or very small group settings. Would labour support this? Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @LincsMont Why not extend #capacity with current providers and especially #CMS #eytalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell how will you build fair and accessible access to @dfe so we feel a real conversation Julie Dodds @Juliedodds1 @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @LincsMont done areas very slow in rolling out the information to Childcare providers hence low up take here June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @signoramac @Sue_Cowley could you promise to use unbiased research to inform decisions rather than quick fixes Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @SChristophy v important subject. Cross party work happening eg Need multi-agency action lead by Health Visitors #eytalking Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell @earlyyearscpd why health visitors? @EYTalking
Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @signoramac @EYTalking @LincsMont capacity across board needs expanding; supply & places down #EYTalking Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYTalking @LucyMPowell EY sector struggling to get their voice heard in Government - how will Labour support listening to EY sector voice? June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @PSW26259 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Let's clarify some 2 year olds need to be in nursery so we need a commitment to a broad balanced sector Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @LincsMont Do you think #agencies will address #CMs shortage? #eytalking Hels @ @LucyMPowell @PSW26259 All types of setting need proper funding so parents have a real choice. #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @PSW26259 engagement with sector, parents and others vital if we are to deliver on promises #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @signoramac @EYTalking @LincsMont no. I think CM Networks could be a good idea in raising quality & support. #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @PSW26259 Can we have a more diverse range of voices sharing what they know? #EYTalking Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @LincsMont But that is only where 2 parents work #eytalking Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell #EYTalking parents children's mental health is secure at nursery because it is so normalised but without secure attachment? Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell Hearing lots of concerned voices in voluntary run EY settings, struggling to keep going. Support from Labour? #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @00sixpointfive @PSW26259 agree. I don't think current fundings arrangements work well for parents or sector #EYTalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell listening to @bobmarley telling me not to worry, is this a sign?
Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @signoramac I just do the 'manager' and 'accounts' roles for free so staff can get paid #EYTalking Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @LincsMont Networks need to be open to all They weren't so some CMs lacked support #DCSF looked into this #eytalking Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @signoramac @Sue_Cowley absolutely key to getting the right solutions in place for children NDNA @NDNAtalk Great debate on #EYTalking with @LucyMPowell Lloyd Razemba @BO4C @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @signoramac @LincsMont Would you see these networks be coordinated by local authorities? Julie Dodds @Juliedodds1 @LucyMPowell @signoramac @EYTalking @LincsMont we had networks which have been scrapped but not same as agencies that are being introduced Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @PSW26259 Is labour #Childcarecommission giving good ideas to you? #eytalking Hels @00sixpointfive @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell Strongly agree. My children have received excellent care & education from this kind of setting. #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @NDNAtalk thanks! #EYTalking (husband about bring my tea so my typing may slow down!) Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @Sue_Cowley it's also a critical part of the choice many parents want to make esp for younger babies and children #EYTalking Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley @LucyMPowell thanks, it would be such a shame to see this part of the sector (parent run) lost, but v. little support for us #EYTalking Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Will you support EYPs (Early Years Teachers) financially and morally? Elaine Hook @ed2inspire @LucyMPowell Its imperative its understood that 2yr olds bring a whole different dimension to childcare & its practitioners #EYTalking
Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYTalking @LucyMPowell Will Labour act on huge increase in malicious complaints and ensure same people cannot repeatedly complain Jane Harrison @JaneRedHen @LucyMPowell Any strategies for wage support for fully qualified EY staff in line with public sector/teacher pay & conditions? #EYTalking Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley Really impressed by @LucyMPowell 's answers to questions over on #EYTalking. @EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell Jose Mourinho - stated on @SkySportsNews 'We drink Champagne because we are improving!' #EY folk do their best! Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @00sixpointfive @PSW26259 and little evidence of listening to parents voice in recent policy direction Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @JaneRedHen no specific plans #EYTalking Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking How will ensure the EY Sector know they are valued in this country? EYTalking @EYTalking Great questions & thoughts to @LucyMPowell thus far! #EYTalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan 18h @PSW26259 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell This is a huge issue which is also causing Ofsted issues because its driving all inspections NDNA @NDNAtalk #EYTalking getting funding right must be most important issue to address if we want free hours to be sustainable Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @Sue_Cowley We struggle with huge costs of delivering #highqualityCost of living affects us We need more incentives #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @kathybrodie yes morally. Can't make an open ended commitment financially! #EYTalking Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Refreshingly honest - morally may be more important first! Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell 18h @SChristophy good nurseries can provide strong attachments #EYTalking
Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @ed2inspire Labour should replace #free with #EarlyEducationSubsidy so parents are aware it is not free #eytalking Penny Webb @PSW26259 @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Agree some do and benefit but not enough choice at moment. And not enough data yet on funded 2 yr old June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @Sue_Cowley @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @signoramac in London we pay the London Living wage and 5 per hour does not meet that, 4 short! Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @Juliedodds1 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @LincsMont and need a clearer picture of available capacity in PVI before rush to roll out schools June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @NDNAtalk @EYTalking Free hours another fairy story! @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK #EYTalking @LucyMPowell What about home childcarers? ALL kinds of families use home childcare. What are your plans to raise their profile? Jane Harrison @JaneRedHen @LucyMPowell Is this equality in pay & conditions something you will aim for? #EYTalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @SChristophy Good nurseries do provide positive attachments and great relationships Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell #EYTalking parents think nurseries are protecting children's mental health- how can they without secure secondary attachments? Sue Chambers @SueChambers14 @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Would a Labour Government remove the "quality support" element away from Ofsted and return it to LAs? Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Will you revisit the Nutbrown Review - evidenced based knowledge from the whole sector - and meet recommendations? Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @JuneOSullivan @PSW26259 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell 'Sound Foundations' report had a lot of sensible recommendations will it influence policy? Laura G @Gold_Lol @LucyMPowell C/ms country wide are v worried about agencies coming in - what can you do to help us? #EYTalking
NDNA @NDNAtalk @LucyMPowell what are your thoughts on a graduate fund as suggested in Sound Foundations report to boost workforce skills? #EYTalking Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @SChristophy Will Labour bring back #EveryChildMatters? #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @00sixpointfive @kathybrodie it's vital we raise status of sector. #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @Gold_Lol we are putting down amendments on CM Agencies in House of Lords this week #EYTalking Hels @00sixpointfive @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell Great question! Essential for recruitment & retention, improving things for practitioners & children #EYTalking Hels @00sixpointfive @LucyMPowell @kathybrodie How do you think this can be achieved? #EYtalking Lisa Fricker @chattercat2 @LucyMPowell @signoramac @EYTalking @LincsMont we did have cm networks but most of those have now gone. June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @ceeda_uk @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @LincsMont Lucy please confirm no 2 year olds in school. A country is judged by how it treats its children Jane Harrison @JaneRedHen @LucyMPowell All EY graduates need financial support, not just 1 per setting, do you agree? #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking Waves to new colleagues joining #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @SueChambers14 absolutely LA's (or equivalent) should have responsibility for quality improvement. Currently no-one does #EYTalking Sue Chambers @SueChambers14 @LucyMPowell I absolutely agree. LA support may have been at times less than perfect but Ofsted is not fit for purpose #EYTalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell start a big conversation . Ask the public " what do we want for children in England?" The Scots did it!
Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYTalking @LucyMPowell Grateful for all your support re cm agencies however Government insist good thing & will not increase childcare cost @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Compulsory registration of childcare agencies would be a good start. Similar to the model in Scotland. June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @00sixpointfive @kathybrodie then let us help you. See how we battled ratios and created #OBC.We are quite coherent EYTalking @EYTalking @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @00sixpointfive @kathybrodie Indeed, there are so many colleagues & parents out there.. #EYTalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Ofsted can use its annual data to drive change and initiate responses through sector action research Respected from Birth @SChristophy @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking we want realisation of children's rights #uncrc Kate Bentham @katebentham The #EYTalking chat is very good for anyone interested in early years, childcare, children, YP & families, tonight hosted by @LucyMPowell Sue Chambers @SueChambers14 @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell #EYTalking I thought there were many good things re quality that came out of National Strategies EYTalking @EYTalking @SueChambers14 @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell I still use Nat. Strat documents. Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @JuneOSullivan @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell great idea perhaps something #ofstedbigconversation regional groups could feed into? MissAileen @AileenAnne1 @JaneRedHen @EYTalking @LucyMPowell I'm agree on that! I'm definitely not in a job 4 an EY graduate and I know plenty aren't #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Starting point: 'What do we want for children - birth to five?' 'How can the sector support?' #EYTalking Penny Webb @PSW26259 @signoramac @Juliedodds1 @LucyMPowell We do but govt. not listening. Only way will not increase costs is if cm's get even less
June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell agree but shame Nat Strats only discovered #earlyyears in their final years. MissAileen @AileenAnne1 @NDNAtalk @EYTalking @LucyMPowell I think EY graduates cud do with refreshers!! Our degree was too coursework based #EYTalking Lloyd Razemba @BO4C #EYTalking @LucyMPowell How do Labour plan to support the sector in raising its status? @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Make home childcare visible to parents & LAs! Low income shift working families use home childcare. Improve access! EYTalking @EYTalking @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell Good point my brother (fire service) & sister-in-law (retail management) couldn't find childcare. #EYTalking Laura Henry @LauraChildcare @LucyMPowell Provides stated today during training that they can no longer advertise their vacancies via FIS - #EYTalking periclesferessiadis @feressiadis don't let kids in institutions founded by the State all day. realise health, education, security around family, grannies n stuff #EYTalking Respected from Birth @SChristophy @EYTalking @LucyMPowell secure authentic secondary attachments. Anything less is not good enough. #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Indeed. Also, stop using Childcare as a reason why parents can't work, because of cost. They are two separate issues. @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell #EYTalking The current Ofsted registration process 4 home childcare doesn't work. A farce! Ofsted register the agencies instead Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell Please look at #agencies consultation It is misleading and #safeguarding mentioned once #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @BO4C don't have the answers yet. Give me ideas. But know its got to be part of solution. #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @BO4C Pay, status, image, more than babysitters. PR exercise..
Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @EYTalking yes and how can we support parents particularly through tricky transitions #EYTalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @ed2inspire This is a big issue.. around safeguarding & child protection. Angelic Angels Ltd @AngelicAngelsJo @EYTalking @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell - for us it's simple all nannies must hold formal child care qualification and be reg with OFSTED Simona McKenzie @signoramac @SChristophy @EYTalking @LucyMPowell make #attachments a statutory training for all providers alongside #transitions #etyalking Sue Chambers @SueChambers14 @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell #EYTalking That was meant to say ECAT - bah, predictive text! June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Let us in. The current early years strategic partnership does not work. Rachel Cole @RachelECole @ceeda_uk @JuneOSullivan @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell NYCC LA about to go under massive restructure- how are your LA's structured? MissAileen @AileenAnne1 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @BO4C And supporting those with learning difficulties working in the sector #EYTalking June O'Sullivan @JuneOSullivan @LucyMPowell @EYTalking one thing you can learn from present situation is you have to have the full public support of @secretaryofstate Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell @EYTalking @BO4C you raise the status by raising the status of children #uncrc #EYtalking Jane Harrison @JaneRedHen @LucyMPowell Do you think schools can provide the best environment & conditions for optimum holistic dev for 2 yr olds? #EYTalking Pam EYP @EYFS_lancs @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Need consistency,quality practice & provision,support for graduates to raise standards,adequate funding Jacqui Burke @jacquiburkefp @SueChambers14 @jokinloch @LucyMPowell @JuneOSullivan LAs best placed to understand supply/demand within patch & match the two #EYTalking

Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell Last 2 mins for questions to me on #eytalking EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Quick!! Pam EYP @EYFS_lancs @EYTalking @LucyMPowell how can sector support? By gov letting the sector support! Sectors voice is currently silenced. @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Yes, a common childcare gap. Not straight forward to fill. Been doing it for 9 yrs. Joining up the sector wd help! Lloyd Razemba @BO4C @LucyMPowell Agree with @EYTalking. 'Funding rates affect pay directly. Can keep asking the SECTOR to be better qualified and not recognise Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @jacquiburkefp @EYTalking @SueChambers14 @jokinloch @LucyMPowell @JuneOSullivan but lack resources to keep robust data on supply and demand @EYFS_lancs @EYTalking @LucyMPowell And support of how EY graduates can relate to all EY settings, esp. those without a degree #EYTalking Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking How will you support Men in Childcare? EYTalking @EYTalking @LucyMPowell @LauraChildcare Will email you in full about this. At a time when providers have no extra funds! Elaine Hook @ed2inspire @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Thanks Laura, Lucy & fellow childcare colleagues for another great debate...go sector until the next one #EYTalking Sue Cowley @Sue_Cowley Wish @TristramHuntMP appeared as open minded and interested in good ideas from practitioners as @LucyMPowell does. @EYTalking @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK @AngelicAngelsJo @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Agree with formal qualifications. Not individual registration. Agency registration makes sense. Simona McKenzie @signoramac @vicks19 @EYTalking It was a good session !

Gill @gill_medhurst SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell I agree Nat Strat docs and online CPD were great resources especially the IDPs Gill @gill_medhurst @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell re LA quality improvement interesting to see Sutton report Recommend a Consultation 1/2 Gill @gill_medhurst @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell to develop a quality improvement framework which draws on work of LAs. 2/3 Gill @gill_medhurst @SueChambers14 @EYTalking @LucyMPowell which is interesting given most LA quality support is being significantly reduced. Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Is the 2yo check fit for purpose? Are Health Visitors engaging with this? Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYTalking @LucyMPowell I have written some mini blogs posing questions re cm agencies. Please read, this is 1st one http://pennysplacechildminding.com/2014/01/25/i-have-beenwondering-these-childminding-agencies-what-if-someone-wants-to-make-a-complaint/ Elaine Hook @ed2inspire @LucyMPowell @JuneOSullivan Yes, lets, really good debate/discussion as always with childcare sector professionals #EYTalking Simona McKenzie @signoramac @00sixpointfive @LucyMPowell Unlike the current team at #DfE who won't engage with us #eytalking @Home Childcare @HomeChildcareUK #EYTalking @LucyMPowell CM agencies will work for some childminders. The silent ones - you're not hearing their voice. Met with 1 today. Simona McKenzie @signoramac @00sixpointfive @LauraChildcare @LucyMPowell Another great #eytalking session Thanks to everyone #united Keith Mehaffey #44 @KeithMehaffey #EYTalking Just wanted to say I am so proud to work in such an amazing job!!

Please pass on why would work, as not heard this view friom a cm Penny Webb @PSW26259 @HomeChildcareUK @EYTalking @AngelicAngelsJo @LucyMPowell Ciompletely disagree. Agency registration - too many unanswered questions Penny Webb @PSW26259 @HomeChildcareUK @EYTalking @LucyMPowell Ofsted registration works for me - I want to be judged on my practice not on the agencies systems Simona McKenzie @signoramac @PSW26259 #EYTalking @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell This is confusing as you are trialling #agencies What do you mean? why is it a farce? Simona McKenzie @signoramac @PSW26259 @HomeChildcareUK @LucyMPowell In that case lets have an open debate with those who want to join an agency How many? #eytalking Shirley Downs @ShirleyDowns4 @PSW26259 @HomeChildcareUK @EYTalking @LucyMPowell I feel exactly the same Jo Verrill @ceeda_uk @signoramac @Sue_Cowley @lucyMpowell need to investigate what plans in place for evaluating 2yr pilots in schools #EYTalking

Hels @00sixpointfive @LauraChildcare @LucyMPowell Yes, agree, settings need access to ongoing support and training as needed #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @PSW26259 we certainly need to ensure settings are age appropriate & child appropriate. Means choice. Quality important too #eytalking Elaine Hook @ed2inspire @LucyMPowell Wages, working hours & training all needs to be considered when attempting to raise standards in childcare #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @ed2inspire you mean 2 year free offer or 2 yr olds generally? #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @signoramac @Sue_Cowley freeze in energy bills is a small start but agree & understand #EYTalking 'EASY' EYFS SOFTWARE @EASYsol4NURSERY @NDNAtalk #EYTalking - good & o/standing makes a difference (researched) - sustainablity = appropriate funding Lloyd Razemba @BO4C @LucyMPowell True @JuneOSullivan.In favour of extending 2/3/4 year old, BUT rates need to ensure providers can stay in business #EYTalking Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell #EYTalking they are rare - even 'outstanding' nurseries fail in robust and authentic key person systems Kathy Brodie @kathybrodie @LucyMPowell #EYTalking Discussion today at HE College on strikes - what if every childcare worker went on strike for a day??!

Oscar_PACEY @Oscar_PACEY @LucyMPowell good to read about Family Friendly summit: Can childcare professionals play role in addressing these issues? #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @NDNAtalk will have a look at report, but a Teach First style approach has some attractions, but not silver bullet #EYTalking Respected from Birth @SChristophy @LucyMPowell #EYTalking woodlands park is the exception not the rule http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/nursery-world/news/1097453/framework-babiestoddlers?DCMP=EMC-CONNurseryWorldUpdate Simona McKenzie @signoramac @LucyMPowell @SueChambers14 #Cms agencies may offer that It is too risky and no monitoring for them #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @Oscar_PACEY yes they can be part of debate, but bigger issue for society, business and gov #EYTalking Playforce @PlayforceUK Enjoying tonight's #EYTalking discussion with @LucyMPowell great to hear her thoughts on schoolification of nurseries Simona McKenzie @signoramac @PSW26259 @LucyMPowell But we know Govt has no #evidence it will lower costs #truss ideology is flawed #eytalking Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYTalking @LucyMPowell Should cm agencies support quality and be responsible for 'registering' cms?

MissAileen @AileenAnne1 Unfortunately the degree still seems so new and alien in some settings, EY graduates aren't getting the jobs they're capable of #EYTalking Pam EYP @EYFS_lancs #EYTalking How will schools accommodate the gap between 2yo&3yo provision if birthdays dont fall between Apr-Aug &only intake in Sept? Simona McKenzie @signoramac @ed2inspire @LucyMPowell #Agencies based on business model will have no idea of #safeguarding #eytalking Allen Talbot @atalbotcoaching Childcare Professional? Just 2 minutes of your time to fill in this questionnaire would be lovely! https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JS6X8GX #EYTalking Sue Chambers @SueChambers14 @jokinloch @LucyMPowell @JuneOSullivan #EYTalking I agree. Good LA support was highly effective and targeted Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @EYFS_lancs one of the issues with schools taking 2 year olds #eytalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @ed2inspire agree. My colleague Steve McCabe looking at this #eytalking Sue Chambers @SueChambers14 @LucyMPowell #EYTalking We must have greater transparency from the DfE Elaine Hook @ed2inspire @LucyMPowell @mandatenow If he needs support/help ask him to contact me, very willing to talk/views have 1st hand experience #EYTalking Lucy Powell @LucyMPowell @JaneRedHen no. But some schools could with right guidance but don't think a school should become defacto place for 2 yrs #eytalking Laura G @Gold_Lol @signoramac @ed2inspire @LucyMPowell will have to make a profit to survive - at parents/cms expense! #EYTalking Penny Webb @PSW26259 #EYTalking @LucyMPowell Re consultation on inspecting cm agencies my thoughts here http://pennysplacechildminding.com/2014/01/24/consultation-about-inspecting-childmindingagencies-my-thoughts/ Beatrice Merrick @b_merrick @AileenAnne1 #EYTalking sound foundations report at http://tempsuttontrust.wordpress.com/sound-foundations-report/ Great points about not losing quality in rush for quantity

Jane Harrison @JaneRedHen @LucyMPowell can schools offer a family style environment though? #EYtalking
