That this House expresses disappointment that some children in England are falling behind in crucial early language skills before they have reached school age; regrets that children from more disadvantaged backgrounds can be 15 months behind peers from more fortunate backgrounds at just five years old; recognises the importance of high quality nursery education in the early years of a child's development; and calls on the Government to improve early learning in nurseries through implementing high quality nursery education, led by a qualified nursery teacher.
