The evaluation programmes, co-funded with the Department for Education’s Stronger Practice Hubs, will see 733 nurseries and early years settings across England will take part in eight new evaluations.
The pilot of Communication Friendly Home-Based Settings, developed by delivery organisation Elklan, will give childminders training to improve their provision and practice to support their children’s language skills. This project is being evaluated by a team based at the University of York.
A version of this programme, Communication Friendly Settings, will also be tested across nurseries.
It will see Elklan support two staff to train other staff in their setting to support children’s speech, language and communication skills. The evaluation, also led by a team from the University of York, will look at the impact of the programme on three- and four-year-olds.
