Birth to 5 Matters Review – Sector Consultation

Five years after the launch of Birth to 5 Matters (Bto5M), the Early Years Coalition will publish an enhanced second edition to ensure that it best meets the needs of the early years sector today. As "Guidance by the sector, for the sector", the Bto5M Review depends on hearing directly from EYFS practitioners, academics and training providers to find out what works, what could be improved, and where there may be gaps to be filled.

How you can help
By completing this survey you will be:
• helping us to understand what should stay the same and what may need updating, and
• giving consent for your answers to be used in this project. This means they would be included in the collated and anonymised data used by Early Education and members of the Early Years Coalition to inform the review of Birth to 5 Matters.

You can choose to answer the survey anonymously or you can add your contact details if you want to be involved in a focus group for more in-depth consultation. Any data we collect will be stored securely by Early Education in line with their privacy policy and will be used only to inform the review of Bto5M.

We are very grateful for your participation in the project. A summary of the survey findings will be published at www.birthto5matters.org.uk in December 2025.
