Information on the DfE early years COVID-19 recovery programme which offers leadership support, coaching and mentoring.
In October 2021, the Department for Education (DfE) announced that £153 million will be invested to strengthen teaching in the early years and address the impact of the pandemic on the youngest children. Together with the previously announced Nuffield Early Language Programme (£17 million), and further investment (£10 million) in the second phase of the Professional Development Programme, this represents an investment of up to £180 million of recovery support in the early years sector.
