Early Years
As a hub, we understand that mathematical development in Early Years is key to a child's development.
"Mathematics plays a key role in a child’s development. Very young children are naturally curious, noticing differences in quantity and the shape of objects. They use early mathematical concepts when they play. Mathematical understanding helps children make sense of the world around them, interpret situations, and solve problems in everyday life." (EEF Early Years Maths)
We are committed to supporting the effective delivery of the Government's Best Start in Life (bSiL) programme.
We are delighted to offer a a range of Early Years focused Work Groups as well as continuing to provide bespoke support through our Targeted Support Model to schools who require additional support in specific areas.
We will shortly be accepting applications for our 2026/2027 Work Groups, in the meantime you can express your interest HERE
