What is the Early Years Evidence Store?
Educators use a range of teaching approaches while working with children in the early years. We have summarised the evidence behind them.
You can use the Evidence Store to find out:
- Which approaches are effective, and why;
- What the approaches might look like in nurseries, schools and for childminders;
- How you can put the evidence into action.
Build your knowledge of this research evidence and combine it with your professional expertise to develop quality practice. Download the guide below to find out more.
