The Early Years and Community Research Centre (EYCRC) is a new and innovative partnership approach to nursery provision in Sheffield.
Sheffield Hallam University has worked with a local school, Save the Children UK and Sheffield City Council since 2018 to develop this project.
The centre aims to combine excellent nursery provision for up to 40 children aged two to four in the North of Sheffield with research and innovation in early years education and care.
The Meadows Nursery opened its doors to children and families in April 2021 and now has 32 children accessing their 2 year Free Early Learning.
This website has been developed to support one of its key aims:
To create opportunities for practitioners to develop their skills and knowledge and share best practice which will enhance the support for children’s development and learning in the South Yorkshire Region.
