Commenting Neil Leitch, chief executive of the Early Years Alliance, said: 

"We warmly welcome the announcement of this new framework from the Centre for Early Childhood.

"At a time when all too often discussions around children's learning are focused on narrow, easy-to-measure skills – and getting children 'ready for school' – the Royal Foundation's continued emphasis on broader skills and particularly, children's social and emotional development, is incredibly welcome.

"We look forward to supporting the important work in the months and years to come."
