Following the recent review of the Early Years Foundation Stage, Ofsted will soon be publishing its new framework for the registration, inspection and enforcement of early years provision, which will be introduced in September.
We will be looking even more closely at children's learning and their personal and emotional development and will give greater attention to how practitioners help children get the good start they deserve.
Inspection will focus more on interactions with children, and less on paperwork. Observation of activities to develop children's knowledge, understanding and skills in the main areas of learning, as well as care practices, will continue to be at the heart of inspections and providing feedback to those working with children will continue to be a high priority.
