Kate Middleton ‘excited’ as new update on major early years project is released

The Princess of Wales is “excited” after being briefed on a new report by her Business Taskforce on early childhood.

Prioritising early childhood for a happier, healthier society has been produced by Deloitte on behalf of the Taskforce. It sets out how a greater focus on early childhood would create a happier and more productive workforce today, and transform the health and wellbeing of the UK economy and society for generations to come.

Christian Guy, Executive Director of The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, said: “I know, having briefed The Princess on this, that she is enormously grateful to the members of the Taskforce who have made such fantastic progress on this work over the past year.

“She feels passionately about the transformational impact of getting this right together, both for the current generation and for many more to come. I know that she is keen to encourage all businesses, no matter what their size or purpose, to join us on this journey and is looking forward to seeing momentum grow in the coming months.”
