We are proud to announce that Partou have joined forces with nine of the nation's leading childcare providers to improve the quality and sustainability of the early years sector across England.
The National Partnership in Early Learning and Childcare (NPELC) is an organisation that has been recently formed by ten of England’s leading childcare providers.
Collectively caring for over 160,00 children and employing over 38,000 professionals across more than 1,300 settings, the organisation recognises its immense responsibility to ensuring the future well-being of young children.
As such, it is united in the belief that all decisions made by, or on behalf of, the childcare sector should start with what is best for the children it serves.
The core aim of NPELC is to provide secure foundations through early learning and childcare that lead to better life chances for children and work choices for parents whilst contributing to improved economic prosperity.
To achieve this, the organisation has proposed a series of initiatives, including:
As a major collective voice that’s aligned on a core purpose, NPELC is dedicated to sharing years of experience and evidenced-based data from the childcare sector with policy makers to help formulate an early years strategy for the long-term.
“I am extremely proud that Partou can contribute towards the positive changes that NPELC are implementing throughout the childcare sector. The group’s purpose closely aligns with that of our own as we strive to provide a children-first approach in everything we do.
