500 nurseries and Reception classes wanted for new research

One trial will examine the effectiveness of the NDNA's Maths Champions programme

The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is looking for 500 nurseries and primary schools across England to take part in the trials to provide evidence of what works.

The trials are part funded by the Department for Education’s £5m investment into professional development and leadership in the early years.

The EEF needs 140 nurseries to take part in a trial of the National Day Nurseries Association’s (NDNA) Maths Champions programme, which is designed to develop maths teaching in early years settings by supporting a practitioner, the ‘Maths Champion’, to design and implement an action plan for improving maths teaching. The NDNA will support the Maths Champion with CPD, online resources and one-to-one advice.
