SPH Needs Assessment

To make our SPH work for you, we really need to hear from you about the challenges you face, what you need and how you would like us to support you through the SPH. Please take 10 minutes to tell us about your setting by filling in our Needs Assessment Form.

Programmes and Resources

The DFE funded several training programmes for the early years as part of its Covid Recovery package, some of which are ongoing.

You can find more information and links on our Evidence-based Programmes page.

There are also numerous resources available to support the EYFS Statutory Framework, including DFE guidance and websites funded by the DFE, such as the EEF’s Evidence Store.

You can find more information and links on our DFE and EEF Resources page.

SPH Bespoke Support Request

The SPH can provide various bespoke support such as:

  • Specific CPD sessions for your setting or local area
  • INSET days or Staff Meetings
  • Arranging learning visits to other settings
  • Audit of provision
  • Setting to setting peer support
  • Pairing you with professional buddies
  • And more

Accessing bespoke support will depend on your area, your need, whether it meets the SPH criteria, and our capacity.

Please look at BEYTH’s CPD portfolio for an idea of the CPD topics available. This is not exhaustive, and we can tailor CPD to your needs.

Please complete the Bespoke Support Form to request support, and a member of the SPH team will be in touch.

The form will ask you about any other support you may have already accessed. So you should be aware of other support available.

Childminder Supervision

Are you a childminder working with early years children (0-5 years)? Are you feeling isolated or overwhelmed? Do you have assistants but no support in leading your team? Would you like some support in running your childminding business?

Our free online supervision sessions are here to help.

You can access up to 3 free online sessions over a 6-month period with your allocated supervisor, funded by the Stronger Practice Hub. These will be arranged on an individual basis, during a day or evening that suits you.

Read more about how you could benefit from supervision, meet some of our childminder supervisors and fill in an Expression of Interest Form.
