Children learning cannot be separated from them growing and developing.
We cannot and should not talk about children “learning” on its own.

If we genuinely want to close gaps we need to give children the things they've missed (often opportunities for play, serve and return conversations, exploration and physical activity). You can't jump ahead by forcing the next stage if the foundations aren't there. #EYFS #PlayMatters

We’re calling on Bridget Phillipson to rethink approach to early years.
Children need play, not pressure.
The science is clear, school readiness shouldn’t come at the cost of child development.

I've been honoured to be part of creating a #PlayMatters guide for early years colleagues which @aaronearlyyears.bsky.social is collating. It's going to be a great help in advocating for play in the early years and beyond! Coming soon. ☺️
