New National Stronger Practice Hub Website

A new website has launched to support regional networks of early years practitioners in England to share knowledge, effective practice and evidence-based approaches.

The Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs programme is part of the Department for Education (DfE)’s £180m Early Years Education Covid-19 Recovery Package and is delivered on behalf of the DfE by the National Children’s Bureau (NCB).

The 18 Hubs (two in each of the government office regions in England) provide advice, share good practice and offer evidence-based professional development for early years practitioners.

The new site will allow early years practitioners to find their local Hub from a drop-down list or by navigating a clickable map of England and access the latest information from that Hub on upcoming events, programmes and resources.

The site will also feature information about the programme itself as well as access to other related DfE programmes and the Early Years Evidence Store created by the DfE’s evidence partner on this project, the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF).
