Anti-racist practice, part 3: True partnerships with parents
Early Years
Ofsted will now consider safe sleep practices as a routine part of inspection, alongside an update to safe sleep requirements in the early years curriculum from September.
An investigation by the National Day Nurseries Association (NDNA) has revealed that school-based early years provision is receiving Ofsted's 'needs attention' rating at significantly higher rates than private, voluntary and independent settings. The findings raise urgent questions about inspection consistency and the distinct challenges facing maintained nursery schools.
Working Families, the national charity for working parents and carers, is to close after 47 years.
