Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub

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.

  • Back to Basics: Learning Through a Continuous Provision Approach

    Online Course
    Virtual Event

    Stronger Practice Hub Event

    Play is a process that enables all children to make sense of the world they inhabit and supports all areas of learning and development in the earliest years. Continuous Provision is an effective approach that provides the context and teaching strategies for playful learning to occur in a differentiated manner. Come and find out more about the research that underpins the approach and explore ways to make it work effectively for the children in your setting. We will consider how enabling learning environments, both inside and out, can deepen children's thinking, skills, and knowledge, and we will explore the role of the educator as an effective play partner alongside.

    This session will explore the basics of effective, authentic and meaningful interactions with children in the EYs.
