Fully funded NPQ in Early Years Leadership

Saffron Teaching School Hub is delighted to share that the NPQ in Early Years Leadership (NPQEYL) is now fully funded for all schools, nurseries, early years settings and childminders.
Facilitated by Rebecca Tarplett, an inspiring and highly experienced Early Years professional, this DfE-accredited programme combines evidence-informed learning with practical application to help leaders strengthen practice, grow in confidence and improve outcomes for children.
Rebecca said:
"I'm thrilled to be delivering the NPQEYL. This programme is close to my heart because it empowers colleagues to deepen their expertise in child development, play and holistic child-centred approaches. The content is rich, thoughtfully designed and delivered in a way that truly inspires."
The programme will help you to:
- Lead with intention through a clear strategic vision for your setting.
- Elevate your practice in child development, curriculum, behaviour and SEND.
- Network and evolve alongside other Early Years leaders in a supportive professional community.
With full scholarship funding available, this is an excellent opportunity to develop your setting, enhance outcomes for children and invest in your own career development and future leadership aspirations.
