Abstract: The Children of the 2020s is a national study following the lives of around 8,500 children (and their families) born in England at the start of the 2020s.The study has been commissioned by the Department for Education (DfE) and is being led by University College London (UCL). The independent research organisation Ipsos is carrying out the data collection. As a longitudinal survey, data collection will be carried out over five waves, when the children are aged 9 months, then at age 2, 3, 4 and 5 years. By following the same families over time, this study aims to answer important questions about children's learning and development, and the findings will be used to improve early education and childcare services. This report covers the first wave of the study conducted in 2022, when the children were aged 9 months. It aims to give a detailed description of each of the key stages of Wave 1, including the development, implementation, administration and data management.
