MP Theresa May shares importance of early years education during visit to childcare provider

MP Theresa May visited a childcare provider in Maidenhead earlier this month to meet the team and discuss the importance of early years education.

During the visit to Wise Owls at Maidenhead Day Nursery at Braywick Leisure Centre, the former Prime Minister spent time with the children and educators and took part in a range of activities at the core of the curriculum.

Mrs May said: “It was great to visit Wise Owls at Maidenhead Day Nursery where I met with staff to discuss early years provision and spent an enjoyable morning speaking with the children.

“I saw first hand the genuine passion the Wise Owls team have for early years development and the care and dedication invested into every child in their charge.

“Early years development plays a pivotal role in shaping a child's future, that’s why it’s so heartening to see Wise Owls providing first-class educational provision for local children, ensuring a strong foundation for their future growth.”

Tanya Galitzine, owner of Wise Owls Childcare since 2000, said: “It was lovely to give [MP] Theresa May a behind the scenes look into our world and witness the important foundations being laid by our early years practitioners.

“As a company, we are determined to reward exceptional standards by investing in staff benefits that value the contribution of staff, such as a comprehensive loyalty programme and continuous professional development to enable staff to progress their careers in the early years.”
