Early Years Evidence Store
Developed to support the DfE’s Stronger Practice Hubs programme, the Evidence Store has been designed to support Stronger Practice Hubs work with early years providers, but it can be used by everyone working in the early years.
The Evidence Store includes six key themes for young children’s learning and development. As a living resource, the store will be continually updated with additional evidence, written examples, and videos.

The Early Years Evidence Store is a summary of evidence-informed approaches to help educators to understand and reflect on their practice. The approaches are illustrated with practices that typically make up the approach and a range of examples of what these might look like in practice.
The Early Years Evidence Store demonstrates that the approaches and practices can be implemented with children across different contexts for teaching and learning spanning adult-led and child-led learning opportunities in the Early Years Pedagogical Continuum.
Professional judgement and an understanding of your children are key to applying the evidence.
More information on how to make use of the Evidence Store is provided in the how-to guide.
The Evidence Store and the tools to support its use will be iterated and developed between November 2022 and October 2024.
