Ofsted’s five-year strategy puts a strong focus on early years and the importance of a good early education. The impact of the pandemic is still being felt across the sector, particularly in the areas of language and development. Join us for this one-day conference to help you ensure your setting is inspection ready, perfect for those having their first inspection under the 2019 Education Inspection Framework.

By the end of the day, you will feel confident in your understanding of how you will be inspected and in what areas you will be judged. You’ll spend time looking at the new ‘Quality of Education’ judgment and what it means in practice, how to prepare for learning walks, how your safeguarding arrangements will be inspected and much more!

With plenty of time for networking and questions throughout the day, so that you can get the answers that matter to you.

Who should attend?

Nursery Managers and Owner, Early Years Practitioners, Early Years Professionals, Headteachers and other members of the SLT.

“A good early education, particularly in reading, sets the foundation for later success…While many children do well in the early years, over a quarter are still not reaching a good level of development by the age of 5.”
