Press contacts & press releases

As the most representative early years membership organisation in England, the Early Years Alliance is ideally positioned to provide:

  • press comment and reactions
  • print and broadcast interviews with our senior representatives, including chief executive Neil Leitch
  • case studies and nursery/pre-school filming locations
  • data, research and analysis

We regularly comment on a range of early years issues, including early years costs, funding, Ofsted and ‘school-readiness’.
