Early Years Alliance

Who we are

The Ealy Years Alliance, formerely the Pre-school Learning Alliance, is the largest and most representative early years membership organisation in England. We support early years providers to deliver quality, affordable and sustainable care and learning to families, and work to ensure that all children, regardless of background are given the best possible start in life.

Mission

Ours is a constantly changing and challenging environment for many parents, children and childcare providers.  The Alliance, its staff and volunteers are committed to listening and responding to their needs, providing practical early years support and advice and representing their interests to policy makers.

Core Values

The Alliance believes that the well-being and achievement of children should be a key priority for society.  We will work at local, regional and national levels with policy makers, parents, practitioners and children to achieve this end.  The Alliance works on a not-for-profit basis, independent of political or other influences through inclusive and democratic principles.

Strategy

The Alliance's strategic priorities (2017-20) are to revolutionise members' experience through direct communication and tailored services, reinforce its portfolio of high quality viable children's services and strengthen its position as the authoritative voice of the early years sector.
