It was a pleasure to welcome the Secretary of State for Education Gillian Keegan MP to Totnes last week, where she visited Daisy Preschool.
During a meeting with representatives of the preschool and Devon County Councillor Jacqi Hodgson, we discussed topics including the importance of early years education, the additional funding which is being rolled out by the Department for Education, and staff recruitment and training.
I am pleased the Secretary of State is taking the time to speak to those working in this vital sector, and will continue to support early years providers across South Devon.
