In light of the recommendations set out in the review of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Ofsted has published its consultation on changes to how it will register and inspect settings including nurseries and childminders.
The consultation sets out the inspectorate’s aspiration to allow registered providers more autonomy in managing services and focus attention on progress in children’s learning and development.
Currently, childminders can be accepted onto the register without relevant experience, but are required to undertake training within six months of registration, but Ofsted’s proposals seek to change this.
The inspectorate will also reduce the number of areas settings are judged against to four, which will cover EYFS outcomes for children; quality of early years provision; leadership and management; and overall effectiveness of provision.
