<p>The majority of the early years’ workforce are employed in private, voluntary and
independent organisations and those employers are responsible for recruiting sufficient
staff in line with the requirements set out in the statutory framework for the Early
Years Foundation Stage.</p><p>The government recognises that high-quality childcare,
with a well-qualified workforce, has a powerful impact on children’s outcomes and
we have announced a £153 million investment in early years education to build a stronger,
more expert workforce, enabling settings to deliver high quality teaching and help
address the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the youngest children, particularly
those in the most disadvantaged areas. Within this investment we have substantially
expanded the number of places that we fund for initial teacher training in early years,
to increase the supply of qualified graduates to the sector.</p><p> </p>
