EARLY MOMENTS MATTER

Sign our petition and join the growing calls for the Government to invest in early childhood now – because children cannot wait.

Right now, the UK Government is setting crucial spending choices for the next three years that can transform young children’s lives and help them thrive as they grow up. By investing in early childhood health and education services and financial support for parents, all children in the UK will get the best start in life.

Nearly 90% of parents with under fives are worried about their child's future life chances.

Families can't wait for change. That's why we're calling on the new UK Government to deliver three key things for parents of babies and toddlers as an urgent priority:

Affordable, high quality early education and childcare in their local area.
Financial support that works for all parents when they need it.
Quality mental health support for all parents.

*Data collected May/June 2024 via YouGov panel, nationally representative sample of 2892 parents of children age four and under in GB (with 534 respondents from Scotland).

Babies and young children are being left behind in the UK.

Families are being swept into poverty by punishing living costs and a lack of support that could help their children thrive.

Already, 4.3 million children are living in poverty and are missing opportunities to develop happily and healthily.

Right now, the Government is setting crucial spending choices for the next three years that could transform young children’s lives as they grow up.

By investing in early childhood services and financial support for parents, the most disadvantaged children in the UK will get a fair start in life. Support for children and parents is something 70% of the public wants.
