The eight regional managers, a head of policy and a head of quality, announced earlier this month (News, 10 May), will take charge of Ofsted's new responsibilities from September. Maggie Smith, director of early years, said, 'We are extremely pleased to welcome this team whose leadership and professional skill will provide a strong foundation as we steer our new early years role forward.'
Dorian Bradley will be moving from head of Ofsted's early years programme to early years head of quality and will be responsible for the quality assurance systems, childcare regulation and early education. Denise Hevey leaves the Open University after 18 years to join Ofsted as early years head of policy. She will advise the chief inspector and the early years director on childcare regulation and the inspection of funded nursery education.
