- - - - Confounding variables
        
        Differences between local authorities in terms of child development/ mothers' work patterns
        
        Different changes in economic conditions
        
        Different benefits from other early years policies (e.g. Sure Start services)
      - Small impact on 5 y/o, even smaller at 7 y/o, disappear completely by 11 y/o
      - Largest impact seen in children from deprived neighbourhoods + in local authorities where most new places were created
      - Reasons for diluted results
        
        PP = Kids were handpicked whilst FEYP was for all 3-4 y/o
        
        Not every kid growing up in disadvantaged area is disadvantaged
        
        Many kids would have attended some form of preschool anyway, so wouldn't have been affected as much
        
        Effect of programme inevitably reduced over time - confounding variables change (e.g. class size)
        
        Differences in quality of childcare programmes + nurseries - may not have provided 'ideal conditions' for intervention to work
