PROJECT
Maths Champions
PURPOSE
To improve the maths skills of children in early years settings
FUNDING
The Department for Education provided funding to establish the pilot. Ongoing running costs are now covered by nurseries paying to take part. The fees are £400 for National Day Nursery Association (NDNA) members and £500 for non-members
BACKGROUND
The NDNA identified maths as one of the weaker areas of the early years curriculum, with 21 per cent of children failing to achieve early learning goals in numeracy and 18 per cent not meeting goals in shape, space and measures. The organisation developed the Maths Champions programme with the aim of improving the knowledge, skills and confidence of nursery practitioners, and ultimately boosting children's maths skills.
