Ofsted Inspection Framework
Following Ofsted's consultation 'Better inspection for all' and subsequent response, Ofsted have made changes to their inspection framework.

Ambitious vision – the impact of the culture of the setting, and ambitions for the children's progress, your willingness to improve and seek professional development.
Safeguarding – not a graded judgement but the inspectors must report whether it is effective or not (see the above document 'Inspecting Safeguarding in early years' ref …show more content…
How do you share ideas for continuing this learning at home with parents? Sharing the 4children parents' guide 'What to expect, when' (this too has been updated, there is now more references to the importance of reading, literacy and communication you’re your child.)
