New from Department for Education

It's obviously a busy day at the Department for Education - it's only 10 o'clock and already they've released a number of research reports and other documents. There are too many to list here, so here are some of the highlights:

• A Comparison of International Childcare Systems attempts to identify patterns between different preschool approaches and later educational outcomes.
•  Parents' Views and Experiences of Childcare reports on a telephone survey of parents and makes suggestions as to how provision can be improved.
• Evidence to Inform the Childcare Commission is made up of 3 separate reports of information submitted to the Childcare Commission since its establishment in June 2012.
• Finally, the DfE has opened a new consultation on childcare regulation; if you'd like to contribute then here's the link, responses will be received until the end of September.
