You might notice that the word 'Ofsted' appears quite a lot in this issue of Nursery World!
That isn't surprising, of course, as the new Education Inspection Framework being introduced in September is the most important and substantial change for the early years sector for some time.

That's why our conference tomorrow (Tuesday), 'Delivering high-quality education under the new inspection framework: intent, implementation, impact', has been greeted with unprecedented demand.
