Across England and Wales, we provide

• Information, advice and guidance to early years and childcare practitioners working in nurseries, pre-schools or as childminders or nannies
• Practical and impartial information to families and carers
• Expertise, guidance, and information to the professionals advising families and carers on their childcare and early education needs.

We also represent the views and experiences of practitioners and champion their vital role in supporting children to have bright futures. We do this because we know that high quality early education, delivered by trained and highly skilled practitioners in partnership with families and carers, helps build the foundations children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow.
