Attention, childminders must read this!

[DCS]

I don't know if you all already know but for those who don't, I stumbled across an Ofsted document entitled,

'Using the early years evaluation schedule: Guidance for inspectors of registered early years settings required to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage '

it basicly sets out,

what inspectors must evaluate and report on when inspecting our early years setting.

the document number is 080124 just type that into the search box on the Ofsted website

So, ladies, when Ofsted inspectors come a knocking at our door, we'll be ready and waiting

􀂄 early years provision in maintained and independent schools, or
􀂄 provision registered on the Childcare Register.

Don’t worry, you should find what you are looking for quickly and easily. Just type the name of the document, page or establishment if your link was to an inspection report, into the search box above.

Or use the grey menu bar to navigate to what you need. Choose Inspection reports to find reports by type of school or service and postcode.

We have told website hosts about this change, but some may not have managed to update their links yet.
