Our existing Early Years Stronger Practice Hub will continue to support settings across Plymouth, Torbay, South and Mid Devon, Dorset, and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.<\/p>\n<p>We have already established a strong working relationship with the Cornwall and Beyond team and are looking forward to building on this through close collaboration between the two hubs. By sharing expertise, knowledge and effective practice, we aim to strengthen the support available to early years settings and practitioners across the South West.<\/p>\n<p>This is an exciting opportunity to further develop our regional network and ensure that high-quality support and stronger practice continue to benefit children, families and the early years workforce across the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">We look forward to working together and supporting the continued development of the early years sector across the South West.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20551\" style=\"width: 1669px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20551 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/stronger-practice-hub-map.png\" alt=\"Stronger practice hub map of south west areas covered\" width=\"1669\" height=\"941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/stronger-practice-hub-map.png 1669w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/stronger-practice-hub-map-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/stronger-practice-hub-map-800x451.png 800w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/stronger-practice-hub-map-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/96\/2026\/10\/stronger-practice-hub-map-1536x866.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1669px) 100vw, 1669px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A map showing the areas each hub are covering in the South West.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please view the latest training events and webinars from the Early Years South West Stronger Practice Hub.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":649,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-and-updates"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-10-08 14:25:33","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20550","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/649"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20550"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20566,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20550\/revisions\/20566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/eycs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
