The Early Years Library, set up by the Centre for Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL) at the University of Cambridge alongside the Early Intervention Foundation (EIF) and funded by the Nuffield Foundation, aims to bring together individual elements of successful early interventions in a guide for practitioners.

The guide will consist of a curated collection of small practices designed to support planning and problem-solving that will enable practitioners to take into account the needs of their children, setting and community when choosing which of the practices to use and when to fit them into their routines.

It will be available free of charge and will include activities to help practitioners support children’s social-emotional learning, maths and literacy skills.
