Group-based providers invited to apply to stronger practice hub scheme
By Rachel Lawler
The Department for Education has shared information for group-based early years providers who wish to apply to become stronger practice hubs.
To be eligible to join, settings must be rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ by аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø¿ª½± and must be providing pre-reception early education.
Those accepted will be funded for two years, starting in November 2022, to establish a network of local settings with the aim of sharing knowledge.
Stronger practice hubs will be expected to proactively share information and advice with other settings, such as through newsletters, blogs and via social media.
They will also need to act as a point of contact for advice, signposting to other funded support where needed.
аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÙÍø¿ª½± have until 23 September 2022 to apply for the scheme.
