Starting this autumn term 2026, the Thames Valley and Solent Early Years Stronger Practice Hub Maths Learning Lead is running the Early Maths Professional Development Programme.
We are recruiting 15 Early Years settings per cohort to take part in this fully funded programme. Within these attendance numbers, and depending on demand, we may be able to consider up to two attendees per setting.
The Early Maths PDP is designed for PVIs, childminders and schools with nursery classes who have 2 to 4 year olds attending their setting. The course content is aimed at Early Years practitioners who are qualified at Level 3 and above.
The Early Maths PDP, developed by the DfE, is completed over one academic term. It includes six online modules and five seminars, one of which is held face to face. The course is led by our Early Maths Learning Lead, Serena Thomas.
Module Overview:
- Unit 1: Counting
- Unit 2: Cardinality
- Unit 3: Measurement
- Unit 4: Pattern
- Unit 5: Shape

Our Early Maths PDP will run one cohort per term. The cohorts will be open to attendees from across our regions OR will be specified by Local Authority. Spring and summer cohorts will be announced later in the year.
