Quality Assurance
There’s always room for improvement
'I do not do ‘mocksteds’. You can never recreate an inspection, as so much depends on what happens on the day. However, I do carry out Quality Assurance visits and Early Years Audits.
I use Ofsted’s Early Years Inspection Handbook, the grade descriptors, and the early years foundation stage to make secure judgements based on evidence. During my visits, I identify the setting’s key strengths and areas for improvement. I provide advice and support to help make the necessary improvements. It is not helpful to expect, or want, nurseries to do anything in addition to prepare for inspections. However, I believe that’s leaders and practitioners can and should prepare for inspection by focusing on providing consistently good quality learning, play and care. I can help you to accurately evaluate the setting's strengths and weaknesses; and to develop action plans to address any shortfalls in practice.
