Early Years Hive improvements

PIP Announcement: 11092020

We are always looking for ways to improve the user experience for Service Providers on the Early Years. We are happy to highlight the two below improvements that were recently made to the portal.

Resources menu

The Resources menu on the Hive has been updated to better incorporate ECCE. The existing Programme Information, Quick Guides, and FAQs pages all now have both an NCS and ECCE option when clicked through to.

A new page has also been created on the Resources menu called Downloads. All the documents and guides that you have been accessing via Useful Links are now available under the ECCE section of this page. We will keep the documents on Useful Links for a period until providers are familiar with the new pages.

Announcements page

The announcements page on the Hive has been reorganised. Announcements are now presented in a list structure which will make searching for announcements much easier.

To open an announcement, just click on the yellow arrow on the right-hand side on the list entry and select ‘View’. Once an announcement is viewed by the service’s PAU, it will be marked as viewed.

We would advise that you regularly check this page for new updates.
