Consultation on the regulation and inspection of registered early years provision

http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/regulation-of-providers-early-years-register

This consultation seeks views on proposals for a revised framework for the regulation and inspection of registered early years provision. These views will help to refine and develop the framework.

We are reviewing our framework for the regulation of those on the Early Years Register following the recent review of the Early Years Foundation Stage. The Government’s intention to publish a revised Early Years Foundation Stage for implementation in September 2012 along with accompanying regulations, together with the end of the current inspection cycle in July 2012, sets the timetable for change.
