Education Development Trust will continue to deliver the DfE’s Early Years Professional Development Programme (EYPDP) – now moving into its third phase and available throughout England – after winning the latest bid to support training in this sector.
Evidence tells us that the quality of early-childhood education has a significant impact on children’s outcomes. The EYPDP provides early years practitioners with high-quality professional development and the knowledge, skills and resources to ensure that all children – now and in the future – have the best possible start in life.
As with the first two phases of the programme, the training will support practitioners who work in settings attended by children aged 2-4. Training for the first of four cohorts start in February 2023, with entry start dates for further cohorts between 2023 and 2025. Together with our delivery partners, EDT will provide evidence-led, high-quality training for to up to 10,000 early years practitioners in England.
