Baroness Eaton (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 July 2025

Debate

Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life

Contribution

My question follows on from that of the noble Baroness, Lady Lister. Apparently, many children arrive at reception level unprepared for being in school, which is really a parenting problem as much as anything. How do we get reluctant parents to accept the work of the centres, and how do they become involved? What incentives will we have to get those reluctant parents to take on the responsibility and have the help that they can so readily get?
