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.

To view the assets within a specific hub or be part of a group discussion, you must first register a free account and create a user profile. Once registered, you can request to join as many hubs as you like, and you will only need to log in once to view activity across all of your groups.
