Access to early education of a high standard is an effective way of closing the attainment gap for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and ensuring the linguistic development of young children. At the moment, children living in permanent poverty in Wales are twice as likely to score lower than the average for their linguistic development at five years old as compared to their better-off peers. Now, during the election, Plaid Cymru proposed radical policies that would assist in closing that attainment gap, including offering a place in school for all children from three years old onwards. Research shows that starting school earlier actually tackles that link between poverty and poor attainment and lifts families out of poverty. Do you agree that we do need to work towards securing equal access to early education for all three-year-olds? If so, in order to achieve this, would you be willing to start planning for accepting children into schools at three years old?
