Pre-Inspection Support

Our Pre-Inspection Support visits are designed to help early years settings feel confident, prepared, and empowered ahead of an Ofsted inspection.

Every visit is tailored to your setting’s individual context, taking into account previous recommendations, leadership structures, and areas of focus. We provide hands-on guidance throughout the inspection journey—ensuring your team knows what to expect and how to showcase their best practice effectively.

 

What to Expect:

• A full mock-style inspection led by an experienced early years consultant

• Support with key areas such as: the initial notification call, leadership interviews, learning walks, and joint observations

• A thorough review of key documentation, including safeguarding, staff qualifications, and curriculum intent

• Constructive feedback aligned with the Early Years Inspection Handbook and EYFS Statutory Framework

• Confidence-building coaching to prepare leaders and practitioners for professional dialogue during inspection

 

Following the visit, you'll receive a tailored action plan highlighting strengths and clear next steps. Our goal is not only to identify areas for improvement, but to support your team in feeling inspection-ready, knowledgeable, and empowered.
