We are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Ambition Institute to deliver the new NPQ for Early Years Leadership (NPQEYL).  Within 18 months, participants will develop expertise in early years leadership helping to give all children up to the age of five the best possible start in life. 

 Those doing the training will learn how to:

• Champion evidence-based practice.
• Plan and deliver care and a high-quality curriculum to support children’s development.
• Establish communication, language and literacy approaches to support children’s learning.
• Identify children who need support and make appropriate referrals.
• Create an environment for all children and colleagues where everyone feels welcome and safe.
