Pre-School Alliance's comments on the new Ofsted report:

Commenting on the Ofsted's 'Bold Beginnings' report, Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, said:

“We have long argued that the principles of the EYFS should be extended further up into primary education, rather than the principles of Key Stage 1 being extended down into the early years. As such, although we know that this shift is one that has been led by the Department for Education, it’s disappointing that this report focuses so heavily on aligning the reception year with Key Stage 1, and the narrow skills of literacy and mathematics.
