Continuing our whistle-stop tour of the #EarlyYearsLibrary 👀📚 Next up, the Early numeracy series 🔢 eif.org.uk/EarlyYearsLibrary

Here's a closer look at the #EarlyYearsLibrary 👀📚 The library is made up of 14 short booklets across 3 series. eif.org.uk/EarlyYearsLibrary Find out more about the Language & early literacy series 👇

Throughout the development of #EarlyYearsLibrary, we worked alongside a group of early years practitioners to ensure the guidance was relevant, practical and accessible. Here's what they have to say about the library 🗣️👇

We hope it will provide #EarlyYears settings and practitioners (incl. childminders, preschool and nursery staff) with the confidence and skills to introduce new strategies and approaches into their practice. #EarlyYearsLibrary 3/3

Crucially, the #EarlyYearsLibrary is an evidence-informed tool, drawing on the most common practices across a set of evidence-based programmes. It’s free and open to use, and aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage. 2/

The Early Years Library team have been working hard to gather and analyse the most common strategies of successful early interventions to make them easily accessible to practitioners across the early years sector! We’re nearly finished and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Our Panel of Experts by Experience made some great points in our introductory workshops. Lovely to see children at the heart! It’s clear, too, that practitioners aren’t looking for a tick list when it comes to guidance.

📣📣 MEET THE TEAM MONDAY! 📣📣 We‘re so looking forward to our next panel workshop to gain more valuable insight from our experts! This month’s panel will be focussed on children’s Social -Emotional Skills and how the guidance can meet the needs of children and practitioners.

📣📣 MEET THE TEAM MONDAY! 📣📣 @Virginia_Ghiara @TheEIFoundation @PEDALCam By collaborating with practitioners, we’re hoping to develop a guide to practice that really works for the sector. We’re looking forward to meeting with our new experts by experience tonight!
