EEF Early Years Toolkit

The Early Years Toolkit from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is an accessible summary of the evidence base for a range of approaches that have the potential to improve outcomes for children. 


The Toolkit aims to help Early Years professionals navigate and interpret the wide body of existing research, to support evidence-based decision-making about developing provision and practice. 

Each approach is described in detail and evaluated in terms of cost, the strength of the evidence base, and impact.

Guidance on implementation, links to further reading and related EEF resources are also included in the Toolkit.
