Beyond reach: barriers to accessing early years services for children

Beyond reach: barriers to accessing early years services for children To better understand the support parents need, Action for Children surveyed just over 2,000 parents of nought to fives in England, to find out about their experience of using early years services. Four things are highlighted in this report: parents need a wide range of early years services; for too many parents, these services are beyond reach; parents are worried about the impact of being unable to access support; and the government has an opportunity to change this.
