Training for childcare providers

Research, for example from the EPPE (Effective Provision of Pre-school Education) project, has shown that children make more progress in settings where staff have higher qualifications, particularly if the manager is highly qualified, and the positive effect of this continues into school at least until the end of Year 5.
