Tailored to the national curriculum, it ensures that nurseries and schools have access to up to date and evidence- based teaching resources. If you wish to hire these resources or have a general inquiry regarding the boxes, please contact the Oral Health Promotion Team at chcp.oralhealth@nhs.net

Department for Education Update
The National Professional Qualification in Early Years Leadership (NPQEYL) launched in October and is now available to current and aspiring nursery leaders, childminders, and leaders and head teachers of school-based nurseries. It has been developed to increase knowledge of leadership in early years settings, strengthen staff approaches to teaching and learning, and support children whose development has been impacted by the pandemic.
Participants will gain skills and confidence so they can deliver high-quality education and care to support children’s development, become a better organisational leader and develop staff so they can reach their full potential.
The course is free, flexible and designed by sector experts to help professionals across the sector to develop their career.
More information about the NPQEYL and eligibility criteria can be found at: Early years leadership NPQ (education.gov.uk)
