Can anyone please tell how I can get the time/date to display here on my home screen, I've seen lots of you tube videos where the users have it here but can't figure out how to do it - thanks in advance.
iPad Air, iPadOS 15
I note from the tags appended to your post that your iPad Air is running iPadOS15 - whereas your posted image relates to iPadOS14.
Your attached image shows the Today View of iPadOS14 - that includes the Time, Day and Date above the scrollable widgets. This view, as seen in iPadOS14, is not replicated in iPadOS15.
There are many changes within iPadOS15 - of which one is the loss of the familiar Today view on the first Home Screen.
With iPadOS15, you are now able to freely position widgets on any of the Home Screens - but you have lost the “compact” first Home Screen layout that shows a compressed 4x6 grid of App/Folder icons and Today view in Landscape screen orientation.
Widgets placed on a Home Screen now individually occupy one or more elements of a 4x6 icon grid. Home Screens without Widgets retain the familiar 5x6 icon grid. The slide-over Today View, previously seen in Portrait screen orientation from the first Home Screen, is still present - and is now also seen in Landscape. However, slide-over does not incorporate the Time and Time panel.
The net effect of adding Widgets to the Home Screen(s) results in reduced efficiency in using available screen space on Home Screens. More information about the new Widgets can be found here:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of information - and is especially useful in becoming familiar with the many changes and new features introduced in iPadOS15. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
