Ofsted inspections will be confirmed in September
According to HMCI Sir Martyn Oliver, this delay is to “allow more time to analyse responses and carry out further testing of proposals to refine and improve the final approach”.
However, it will still be implemented in November as planned, despite the later publication. NDNA is concerned that this will give providers less time to prepare for inspections.
Purnima Tanuku CBE, Executive Chair of National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) said: “It’s important that Ofsted takes into account all the responses to the consultation and takes sufficient time to respond. These inspection decisions will have a big impact on early years providers and need to be thought through carefully.
