It follows research commissioned by the Mayor and published earlier this year, which found that early years providers would struggle to survive the year.

Strong Early Years London will be delivered in partnership with the Early Years Alliance and research specialist CEEDA, and draws on recommendations from research by the organisations for the Mayor published earlier this year.

The programme aims to help nurseries and childminders access business support information, advice and guidance, and provide intensive support to those most in need with a focus on sustainability and growth.  

It will be a one-stop-shop on the London Business Hub for private, voluntary, and independent providers (PVIs) in London to access business support, including a series of new webinars and workshops.
