Day Nurseries said: "Baroness (Sally) Morgan made the speech at a conference organised by the ARK chain of academy schools, of which she is a board member and said: “I think there needs to be a big bold brave move on the under-fives agenda to target funding heavily on the children who will benefit most and increasingly I think to look to strong providers to go further down the system. We've increasingly got five to 18 schools, why not three?” She later amended this to include two-year-olds." Nick Ward principal of Marine Academy in Plymouth also spoke saying 'school-ready' pupils were the aim.
