Stronger Practice Hubs
Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs are a national network of hubs, connecting providers and acting as a source of high-quality evidence-based information.
It is free for settings to access support through Stronger Practice Hubs. Funded until Autumn 2024, Hubs will focus on supporting children from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds and support will focus on settings without existing access to networks and/or relationships with other early years providers, looking to improve the quality of their provision and would benefit from high-quality professional development for staff.
In supporting other settings to adopt practice improvements, Hubs will provide advice, share good practice and offer evidence-based professional development for practitioners, including:
- Establishing local networks of settings to share knowledge and effective practice.
- Proactively sharing information and advice on evidence-based approaches
- Acting as a point of contact for bespoke advice, and signposting to other funded support
Our most local Hub for the East Midlands is the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Early Years Stronger Practice Hub.
