Dingley’s Promise are proud to be part of the Early Education and Childcare Coalition. The recent EECC Pulse Check reflected that 68% of all voters think the next government should prioritise early education and childcare as much as primary school, with the same number saying more funding for early years would benefit the country in the long-term. We are committed to raising the voices of children, families, early years settings and local authorities to ensure that early years education is given greater priority by all decision makers and that children with SEND are given every chance possible of fulfilling their potential.
