Our Role as a Stronger Practice Hub
As a Stronger Practice Hub we aim to support other early years settings to improve outcomes for children in their local area across the EYFS, but specifically focusing on areas of development that research informs us have been most impacted by COVID-19: personal social and emotional development (PSED); communication and language, and early literacy and maths.
We aim to support settings to adopt well-evidenced practice improvements in a number of ways.
The Stronger Practice Hubs are part of the DFE Covid Recovery programme, which includes a number of different strands. We encourage all settings in our region to access and make use of the support available.
You can read more about the other DFE Support Programmes and Early Years Resources available here.

Trauma Informed? Dispelling the Jargon and How You Can Make a Difference by Terri Mitchell
Explore the meaning behind common educational phrases like ‘Belonging Strategies’ and ‘Trauma Informed’ while discovering how to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives. Early years educator Terri Mitchell challenges us to shift our perspective on challenging behaviors and view them through a trauma-informed lens. Drawing from her extensive experience and training in Trauma Informed Schools, she explains how early childhood experiences shape brain development and why understanding trauma and attachment is crucial for every educator. This insightful post offers practical guidance on becoming an emotionally available adult who can positively impact children’s life outcomes.
