| Abstract | It is now widely recognized that the early years are fundamental in preparing children for success in school and in later life. The skills and abilities developed in the early years provide the platform for later learning, while early deficits can have lasting consequences for later inequality and social mobility. We also know that early interventions can have large and lasting effects on children's development. For all these reasons, the early years are now understood to be a particularly important time for investments. As the importance of the early years has become clearer, policy-makers have become increasingly interested in the potential role of early years policy in reducing inequalities and promoting social mobility. The United Kingdom (UK) has large socio-economic status gaps in school achievement and later life success, with children from low-income or low-educated families lagging well behind their more advantaged peers. Such gaps are already apparent at school entry, with children of low socio-economic status families lagging behind their more advantaged peers by roughly 11 months at school entry, as earlier work for the Sutton Trust has documented. This report examines the current state of early years policy in light of the evidence about what works. Reviewing 20 years of policy change, it assesses the strengths and limitations of where we are today, and identifies priority areas and key next steps for policy attention. It covers three types of early years policy: parental leave and parenting; early education and childcare; and financial support to households with young children. The focus throughout is on narrowing gaps at school starting age between children from different social backgrounds -- essential to breaking the cycle of disadvantage and making progress on social mobility.
