(iv) The Effective Pre-School Provision in NI (EPPNI) project was a longitudinal research study of children's progress and development from age three to eleven years, and how progress related to their pre-school centre experience and family background. A parallel study was carried out in England (Effective Pre-School and Primary Education - EPPE). The EPPNI and EPPE projects were the first large-scale studies in England, Scotland, Wales and the north of Ireland to investigate the effects of different kinds of pre-school provision, and to relate experience in pre-school centres to child development.

The EPPNI Summary Report is available on the Department of Education’s website at www.deni.gov.uk/researchreport41.pdf
