Abstract

The EPPNI study used a comparable design to the original EPPE research and thus replicates aspects of EPPE in a different context in the UK: Northern Ireland. This chapter makes comparisons between the findings of research on the impact of pre-school in two different contexts and examines the implications for early years practices.
