Education Endowment Evaluations

Early Years Settings can now register to take part in a range of new EEF evaluations of early years programmes, co-funded by the Department for Education’s Stronger Practice Hubs.

These fully funded projects will test the impact of  interventions which aim to support young children’s (2-5 year olds) early language and numeracy skills

Early Talk Boost 

Talk with Tales for Children (TWiTCH)

The One Project 

These projects include the first ever EEF-funded evaluation involving childminders. The pilot of Communication Friendly Home-Based Settings, developed by Elkan, will give childminders training to improve their provision and practice to support their    children’s language skills.
