What happens when early years provision is designed around children’s needs, rather than their parents’ employment status? The BRIDGE Project offers compelling evidence from an innovative model that seeks to close gaps in access and opportunity.
Funded by the Westminster Foundation and delivered by the London Institute of Early Years, the report explores the impact of a more equitable approach to early education and care. Rich in insight and grounded in practice, it raises important questions for policymakers, local authorities and providers about how we design a system that genuinely works for all children.
