Thrive Together Early Years Stronger Practice Hub WM

Edition 1 - Winter 2023

We are delighted to share news that Ryders Hayes, alongside our partners; Fullbrook Nursery, Kiddies Playhouse and Abu Bakr Nursery have been designated by the Department for Education as an Early Years Stronger Practice Hub.


Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs will provide advice, share good practice, and offer evidence-based professional development for early years practitioners. The hubs are part of the early years education recovery support package which also include the early years experts and mentors programme.


Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs, will support to adopt evidence-based improvements by:


  • 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
  • Working with the EEF to select evidence-based programmes to fund and make available to settings.
