The time has come to build towards a bolder future of universal early years education so disadvantaged children no longer missed out.
But this report lays bare the fact that those promises to so many people in our country have been broken.
We are rebalancing the system to focus on the 94% of kids in state schools, a majority that has been sidelined for too long.
We know that children born into less well-off families are more likely to arrive at school further behind their more affluent peers.
