The guidance was updated in January 2013.

The early years self-evaluation form (EY SEF) is now available for you to complete online and we encourage you to use this: https://online.ofsted.gov.uk/onlineofsted/public/launchportal.aspx.

In order to complete your EY SEF online, you will need a unique password from Ofsted called an Ofsted Security Token (OST) and the guidelines on how to complete the online form. If you have not already received this, please contact us on 0300 123 1231. Please have your URN to hand when you contact us.

Alternatively, the EY SEF is available in two downloadable formats.

• Word version can be filled in by hand or on your computer

• PDF version can be filled in by hand

There is a guidance document to help you.
