What’s involved?

The DfE have announced that Early Years Stronger Practice hubs will continue to be funded until at least March 2029!

We will support other nurseries and childminders in their area to adopt evidence-based practice improvements by:

Building on and strengthening local networks of early years educators to share knowledge and effective practice
proactively sharing information and advice on evidence-based approaches - for example, through newsletters, blogs and social media
acting as a point of contact for bespoke advice and signposting to other funded support
working with the EFF to select evidence-based programmes to fund and make available to nurseries and childminders.

Please feel free to view and download the DfE’s privacy notice for the Stronger Practice Hubs programme.

This is an An exciting partnership, working collaboratively with the Local Authorities across the West Midlands, along with BEYN to continue to build on and strengthen our existing support for early years within Birmingham and beyond.
