More focused inspection planned to help drive improvements in early years
04 Sep 2012
Ofsted has today announced changes to the way it inspects early years providers, such as nurseries and childminders.
From September, Ofsted inspection of early years providers will be more focused on children’s education and their personal and emotional development. Inspectors will give greater attention to the progress children make in their learning.
The changes will also give those looking after children more freedom in managing their own service, while continuing to keep children safe by strengthening registration and maintaining rigorous enforcement for those who are not complying with requirements.
