The Princess of Wales has visited an outstanding early years setting in Luton as part of her work aiming to raise awareness of the importance of the early years.
Educators, children and parents at Foxcubs in Luton, which is run by the Alliance, were delighted to be introduced to The Princess and shared their experiences of the early years, and the importance of these years for children鈥檚 development.
The Alliance thanked The Princess for her work highlighting the importance of the early years and discussed its ongoing #WeAreEducators campaign, which aims to recognise the work of early years educators.
Alliance CEO Neil Leitch, who also attended the visit, said: 鈥淚t was an absolute privilege to welcome The Princess of Wales to Foxcubs Nursery this morning.
鈥淲e know that early education is a key focus for The Princess and the work of the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood has been pivotal in changing perceptions of early childhood and raising awareness of the critical importance of the early years.
鈥淕iven that our current campaign, #WeAreEducators, is all about shining a light on our fantastic educational professionals, we are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to showcase the outstanding early years provision at Foxcubs to The Princess today.
鈥淲e would like to express to The Princess our deep gratitude for her unwavering commitment to our sector, and we look forward to supporting the continued work of the Royal Foundation on this important issue.鈥
