Teach Early Years Awards 2020 Winners Announced

The Teach Early Years Awards, part of the wider Teach Company Awards, were created to make the process of finding high-quality resources, CPD and picturebooks as easy as possible.

Each year we put the call out for the best educational resources for teaching children aged 0-5 across a range of categories, as well as continuing professional development resources and picture books, and once again we received a wide variety of incredible nominations.

Once we’d shortlisted our favourites, our expert EY judges then got to put these finalists to task. And after a month-long test period, they delivered their verdicts.

Here, you’ll find the full list of the winners in all six of our categories.
