Two-year-olds from disadvantaged families should be enrolled in school nurseries to improve their chances, the chairwoman of Ofsted has suggested.
Many children from poor backgrounds have a "dire" start to their education, according to Baroness Sally Morgan.
They can be up to a year and a half behind their better-off classmates by the age of five, she said.
The Pre-School Learning Alliance described Lady Morgan's suggestion as "beyond belief".

Strictly speaking I wouldn't call nursery (or as we called it when I was 4 - playgroup) "school". But all in all, I think it's a good idea.
We are alive, so the universe must be said to be alive. We are its consciousness as well as our own. We rise out of the cosmos and see its mesh of patterns, and it strikes us as beautiful. And that feeling is the most important thing in all the universe.

We could have a system with improved childcare facilities, access to early education, health and family support, and outreach and community development for those living in deprived areas. We could call it Sure Start, and properly fund it. You know, like Labour did in 1998, which the ToryDems promptly cut in 2011, despite studies showing how effective it was. Just a thought.
