Bristol & Beyond Early Years Hub (formerly The Bristol Early Years Teaching Hub) is a hub for professionals in Early Years settings and Primary Schools, who wish to collaborate, challenge and innovate to improve provision, leadership and achievement in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Our Hub has a significant role in supporting quality improvement across Bristol and beyond. Through our strategic alliance with the LA, we play a central role in quality assurance, self-evaluation, professional development and school/setting improvement for the whole EYs sector. This includes all reception classes in Primary Schools, Nursery Schools, Nursery classes, private voluntary and independent nurseries and childminders.

Bristol & Beyond Early Years Hub has a long-standing track record of leading and delivering high-quality support and professional development that has a measurable and sustainable impact.

As our reputation has grown for delivering expert CPLD, we now offer an annual training programme and bespoke packages for EYs settings and schools both nationally and internationally.

Originally designated and established as a National Teaching School in 2012, our EYs Hub is led by St Pauls Nursery School and Children’s Centre, an ‘Outstanding’ provider, and we work in collaboration with the Bristol Local Authority EYs team, other Bristol Nursery Schools, Pen Green and the 5 Counties Teaching Hub.

Building Eco-Empathy in the Early Years With Millie Colwey

St. Pauls Nursery School and Children’s Centre Little Bishop Street, Bristol, United Kingdom

Stronger Practice Hub Event

Are you a bit daunted by the DFE's Sustainability Strategy? Are you not sure where to start with developing a Climate Action Plan for your setting? As you move forward with this, it is very important to understand the need for it and to do it in a way that is appropriate for the early years, so that we build eco-empathy not eco-anxiety. This research-informed session will link with DFE guidance and the need for settings to develop Climate Action Plans. It will also help participants make links between sustainability and children's learning and development.
