Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs

The stronger practice hubs support early years settings and childminders in their area to adopt evidence-based practice improvements. Through collaboration and shared learning, hubs:

• promote training and tools that reflect the latest, evidence-informed research and best practices in early childhood education, ensuring that staff feel confident and equipped to meet the diverse needs of children and families
• encourage equity and inclusion by helping settings identify and address barriers to learning so that every child has the opportunity to achieve their best, particularly those with socio-economic disadvantage
• foster a culture of continuous improvement, where early years professionals are supported to reflect on their practice, share insights and grow together as a community
• support pedagogy and help practitioners make informed decisions that nurture each child’s curiosity, confidence and wellbeing
