A new programme providing professional development for Early Years Practitioners

The Early Years Professional Development Programme is a key element of the national government initiative to improve children’s outcomes in early language, literacy and mathematics. Launched in September 2019, it aims to provide high-quality, evidence-based professional development support for Early Years Practitioners in pre-Reception settings.

It is specifically targeted at Early Years Practitioners who work with the most disadvantaged children between the ages of 2 and 4 years, with an emphasis on improving school readiness. It is anticipated that 60,000 children will be reached by this Programme.

COVID-19 UPDATE

We are contingency planning for the rest of the Programme with the DfE and will be in touch with further updates as soon as they are available.

For ideas to support your 2–4-year-old’s communication skills check out the expert but fun and friendly guides under the "Open Access Resources" menu option above. Designed for parents, carers and the whole family. Practitioner pages are coming soon!


A note from the DfE on furloughed workers:

The Early Years PDP has been offered to practitioners on a voluntary basis, and furloughed workers can still participate in any online training associated with the programme.  Workers must be paid at least NLW/NMW for time spent training, even if this is more than the 80% of their wage that will be subsidised.  We hope practitioners continue to engage with the programme, and rest assured they will be supported to maintain their new knowledge and learnings in this period of suspended face-to-face interaction - more details on this will be provided very soon.
