Early Years Collaborations

Many Early Years settings in Kent are now part of a local or virtual collaboration which provides an opportunity for settings to share good practice, the costs of training and provide mutual support.

We continue to hear very positive messages from Collaboration Leaders regarding the impact of some of the work undertaken. Leaders' Events are held three times a year and provide valuable networking opportunities and continuous professional development.

See what a few of our collaboration members say about being part of a collaboration:

Lisa Evans from Shepway Collaboration


Tracey Johnson from Canterbury United Early Years Collaboration


Sally Heath from The Outcasts Collaboration


If you would like to join or lead a collaboration please contact EYCollaborations@theeducationpeople.org. We will be happy to support you in connecting with other local providers.
