The Government's recent report, Giving Every Child the Best Start in Life, highlights the crucial role that early education plays in improving children's outcomes and reducing disadvantage.  

With a national ambition for at least 75% of children to achieve a Good Level of Development by the end of Reception by 2028, there is a renewed focus on ensuring that all children develop strong foundations in mathematics from the earliest years. 

To support this ambition, Maths Hubs will be expanding their Reception-focused professional development and school support offer from 2026/27.
