We are pleased to announce the launch of our Early Years Training and Development Programme for 2026–2027. This year, we continue our commitment to supporting high‑quality practice across all early years settings, offering a rich combination of universal and traded training opportunities.

Our universal offer provides a wide range of accessible learning options for practitioners across the sector. In addition, our traded offer allows settings to purchase high‑value, tailored support designed to strengthen and enhance practice where it is needed most.

A key feature of this year’s programme is our continued focus on bespoke, setting‑specific support. Our menu of 2 or 3 hour workshops can be delivered directly to your whole staff team, either face‑to‑face within your setting or virtually, depending on what works best for you. These workshops are designed to be flexible, practical, and responsive to the unique needs of your provision.

Bookings for training will open from today, and the programme will run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027.

Don’t forget you can use your EYPP to fund any of our traded offer or you could use your SENDIF funding to book on to any of the SEN strategies workshops.

If you have any questions about the programme or would like guidance on selecting the right training for your team, please contact us at eyworkforce@portsmouthcc.gov.uk.

We look forward to supporting your continued development and helping you achieve the best outcomes for Portsmouth’s children and families.
