The EPPE project is a major five year study funded by the DfES. The research would
not be possible without the support and co-operation of the six Local Authorities (LAs)
and the many pre-school centres, primary schools, children and parents participating in
the research. The team would also like to thank the many research staff, both at the
IoE, the DfES and elsewhere who have contributed to this work.
