How Many CPD Hours
Should Early Years
Practitioners Complete?
While the UK statutory EYFS framework does not mandate a rigid "capped number" of annual CPD hours, it statutorily requires setting leaders to provide continuous training, coaching, and supervision to ensure practitioners remain competent and up to date.
To maintain high-quality practice and meet inspection expectations, early years sector best practice recommends:
Full-Time Practitioners: 20–30 Hours per year
Room Leaders & SENCos: 30–40 Hours per year
Setting Leaders & Managers: 40+ Hours per year
Earn Points & Celebrate Success: The Annual Awards Evening
We believe that continuous learning should be recognized and celebrated. As practitioners complete modules and progress through learning pathways, they earn points that contribute to our setting-wide leaderboards and annual recognition scheme.
Every point earned builds towards nominations for our prestigious Annual Awards Evening, celebrating excellence across the early years sector:
- Master of Safeguarding
- Master of Sign Language
- Master of SALT (Speech & Language Therapy)
- Master of OT (Occupational Therapy)
- Master of the EYFS Areas
