New institute launches to connect childcare experts across the world

A new institute to drive the improvement of learning and care for babies, toddlers and young children has launched today.

The Institute for Early Years aims to improve practitioners’ understanding of child development and family support, along with connecting experts through a global learning platform.

It has been set up by independent consultant Sue Egersdorff, with the support of the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), the University of Northampton and Angel Solutions, a company that provides software to schools and children’s centres.

A goal of the institute is to further support and develop growing evidence that investment in maternal and child health, good nutrition, sensitive parenting, high quality learning and development opportunities benefits society. It will do this by producing and supporting original research, publishing ‘innovative thinking’ and hosting events.
