Details
This research is part of the longitudinal study of early education and development (SEED).
The impact report:
- explores whether factors captured in children’s early years by the SEED surveys are associated with their attainment and socio-emotional outcomes upon their completion of key stage 2 (KS2) at year 6
- considers how these outcomes are associated with children’s experience of early childhood education and care (ECEC), including the amount of time spent in care, the age they started receiving care, and the quality of childcare
- investigates the impact of the home environment, parenting, and the quality of the parent and child relationship at KS2
The expected financial returns report estimates the expected economic and non-economic benefits for children that may result from additional hours of formal ECEC in a child’s early years.
