Preparing for your Ofsted inspection:

Beverley Jones will arrange a telephone call to offer you support and advice in preparing for your Ofsted inspection:

  • If you have recently been registered by Ofsted on the Early Years Register and will therefore be inspected within 30 months of your registration date.
  • If you are expecting your Ofsted inspection within the next 6 months (6 years from the date of your last inspection).

Support following an Ofsted inspection:

If you have received Requires Improvement or Inadequate following an Ofsted inspection, Beverley Jones (Learning & Development) and Charlotte Percival (Safeguarding Officer) will be able to provide you with face-to-face and online teams' meetings / telephone calls, offering advice and support to help you get back to achieving a Good Ofsted outcome.

Once your report is published on the Ofsted website, we will be in touch with you to arrange our support. This support is non-chargeable.
