Abstract | This study explores the implications of the COVID pandemic for access to and provision of early childhood education and care (ECEC) for 0–4-year-olds in England, and ways in which the ECEC system could be strengthened. It combines insights from qualitative and quantitative research, including: a systems mapping; a literature review; a survey of local authorities (LAs); analysis of a variety of national data sources; and, case studies involving qualitative interviews with parents, ECEC providers, LA staff and employer representatives. The data analysed was collected in 2020 and 2021. The study was funded by the Nuffield Foundation and the research was undertaken by a team from the Centre for Evidence and Implementation, the University of East London, Frontier Economics, Coram Family and Childcare and the Institute for Fiscal Studies. |
