Early years - English as additional language (EAL)

Every early years setting should support children and families who are bilingual, multilingual or who are learning English as an additional language. 

Better Bilingual vlogs from our early years team

Our early years team has commissioned Better Bilingual to create a series of vlogs designed to support providers and promote outcomes for their EAL learners. You can watch these six videos on our YouTube playlist.
