Compliance & regulation

Kate and Jo have over 60 years’ combined expertise in the early years sector. Jo has been an Ofsted inspector for over 20 years. Both Kate and Jo have an in-depth knowledge of Ofsted’s inspection framework and the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory regulations.

How we help

We can help settings recognise where practice is slipping and any aspects of non-compliance. Their incisive view and proactive, supportive guidance will help settings improve their provision and provide children with high quality early years experiences.  

Sometimes things go wrong and practice does slip, or breaches in regulatory requirements occur. This can lead to disappointing inspection outcomes.  Kate and Jo can help you improve and deliver the quality of provision you aspire to, and which children need and deserve. They will empower your team, rebuild confidence, and quickly get you back on to a positive improvement programme. This will be done in a way which best suits your setting. It might include through ongoing support, delivery of personalised training packages, onsite quality support visits, compliance checks, leadership support, and business guidance for leaders.

“Enabling environments mobilise the energy, attention, curiosity and focus of children.”
