Dr. Alistair Bryce-Clegg

I'm Dr. Alistair Bryce-Clegg, and I've dedicated over three decades of my career to Early Years education. My passion lies in fostering children's potential and enhancing early childhood education practice.

Currently, I work as an International Early Years Consultant and Trainer. I'm also an author, having written 28 books published by Bloomsbury and Sage, focusing on various aspects of early childhood education and development.

My journey in education began as a Reception teacher and then eventually as a Headteacher of a three-form entry Infant school and Early Years Unit in Cheshire. This experience laid the foundation for my later career, including the establishment of ABC Does... More recently, I co-founded the My First Five Years child development app (mffy.com), to support parents and caregivers in understanding and celebrating their children’s development .

I've had the privilege of contributing to broader educational initiatives. I served as an advisor to the Government's Education select committee on Early Years policy and practice, as well as to the Royal Foundation on Early Years and Parenting. Additionally, I was honoured to participate as an Early Years Expert on Channel 4's BAFTA-winning series "Old People's Home for 4 Year Olds".

Throughout my career, I've remained committed to inspiring children to reach their full potential. This drive continues to motivate my work in consultancy, training, and advocacy for best practices in Early Years education.

I have a Doctorate in Education with a specialism in early childhood and always welcome any opportunities to discuss and collaborate on initiatives that advance the field of early childhood education and support the development of our young learners.
