Proceeding contribution from Joan Humble (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Childcare Bill.


Childcare Bill

Clause 41 introduces the learning and development requirements, and I note that it specifically points out that young children have ““different abilities and maturities””. It also lists simple developmental goals. We are not here talking about educational attainment, but about the development of a young child, which is what health visitors and the like already look into now.
