What Drives Us

In  the  beginning,  the  majority  of  us  were  uncertain  about  what  policy  was,  how  it  was  created,  and  how  it  impacted  its  end  users.  We  have  embarked  on  a  journey  to  understand  more  about  policy,  how  it  affects  our  lives,  and  learn  how  all  voices  can  help  create  a  policy  that  is  more  reflective  of  key  stakeholder’s  needs.  We  all  have  a  passion  for  the  Early  Years  sector  which includes  the  role  of  educators  and  leaders  to  be  able  to  provide  inclusive,  accessible,  quality  childcare  for  all  children.  Through  expanding  our  knowledge  of  the  Early  Years  sector,  including  how  policy  supports  the  day  to  day  practice  of  leaders  and  educators  as  well  as  the  value  of  partnerships  with  key  stakeholders,  we  discovered  the  relevance  of  working  together,  to  empower  each  other  in  the   construction  of  an  Early  Years  policy  framework  prototype  that  reflects  the  region.  This  has  in  turn  helped  us  establish  strong,  respectful  relationships  with  leaders  in  the  Early  Years  sector  in  London-Middlesex.
