Knowledge Hub

Knowledge Hub is a collaborative platform utilised by the Cambridgeshire Early Years and Childcare Service (CambsEYC) to share information, conversation, and ideas between sector colleagues and schools with early years provision. 

Within Knowledge Hub, CambsEYC offers service-specific groups/hubs tailored around a particular topic. In which you can access several need-to-know documents, guidance strategies, and resources.
