The programme will be delivered by teams from the University of Oxford and the University of Sheffield.
The lead investigators are Gaia Scerif (Oxford) and Emma Blakey (Sheffield).
At Oxford, the team is made up of Rosie O'Connor and Caroline Korell.
At Sheffield, the team is made up of Toni Loveridge and Carmel Brough. 
The delivery team are responsible for recruiting settings into the programme, delivering professional development training with staff and maintaining contact with staff at the settings during the length of the programme. 
If your setting takes part in the project, a member of the delivery team will visit your setting in person on four occasions spread over four weeks to carry out professional development sessions with staff. The delivery team will also contact you to ask for information about your setting and to provide regular updates about the programme.

As part of the Department for Education’s Early Years Recovery Programme, Stronger Practice Hubs and the Education Endowment Foundation are working together to fund Early Years settings’ access to evidence-informed programmes and study the programme’s influence on practice and children’s outcomes.
The ONE programme is being funded as part of this programme. More information can be found on our project page.

RAND Europe are working to evaluate the efficacy of the programme, supported by a data collection team at Qa Research.
The evaluation team will be responsible for collecting data from children at the early years settings involved in the project to find out whether the intervention works on a large scale to improve children's early maths and executive function skills. 
If your setting takes part in the programme, you will be visited by a trained, DBS-checked evaluator from Qa Research on 2-3 days in Autumn term 2023 and again in Summer 2024. This evaluator will carry out some short assessments with children in your setting. You may also be contacted by Qa or Rand to fill out questionnaires, to provide information over the phone and/or to take part in a feedback interview.

The ONE programme is supported by a global team of co-investigators and advisors with expertise spanning the development of mathematics skills in children, collaborative work with educators and intervention design: Victoria Simms (Ulster University), Rebecca Merkley (Carleton University), Zack Hawes (University of Toronto), Steven Howard (University of Wollongong) and Fionnuala O'Reilly (University of Oxford and Behavioural Insights Team).
The programme was co-developed with insightful practitioners at early years settings across Oxfordshire, as well as a worldwide research team including:
Gaia Scerif (University of Oxford), Rosie O'Connor (University of Oxford), Sylvia Gattas (University of Oxford), Rebecca Merkley (Carleton University), Steven Howard (University of Wollongong, Australia), Zack Hawes (OISE, Toronto), Vic Simms (Ulster), Kathy Sylva and Ted Melhuish (Oxford), Emma Blakey (Sheffield).
The first study assessing acceptability and feasibility of The ONE was funded by the Nuffield Foundation. You can read about this feasibility project here and read the full feasibility trial report here.
