In this in-depth conversation, early years expert Liz Pemberton reflects on race, identity and belonging in early childhood education. Drawing on her experience as a nursery manager, consultant and mother, Liz explores what anti‑racist practice looks like beyond tick-box approaches — from the stories children develop about themselves to the importance of language, listening and psychological safety. She shares the thinking behind her Four Es framework, discusses the impact of systemic racism in early years settings, and makes a powerful case for broadening whose voices shape training, theory and practice.
