Early Years Education Partners

Raising outcomes for our youngest children

Our Early Years Education Partners work closely with leaders and managers to ensure that they are kept up to date with all aspects of Early Years practice, as research shows that quality provision in these early years is crucial to securing children’s outcomes and close gaps caused by disadvantage.

 

They offer support for leaders and managers to ensure they are able to provide quality Early Years provision and the best start for all children. 

 

The team recognises that opportunities for Early Years practitioners to train and network together can help raise outcomes for our youngest children and offer current and relevant training to support EYFS practitioners in terms of their knowledge and understanding of Early Years practice.

You can contact the team by emailing [email protected] or by following them on twitter @sil_eyfs
