Please find below a comment from Neil Leitch, CEO of the Early Years Alliance on Ofsted’s latest post-inspection survey results which found that 94% of surveyed early years providers inspected were satisfied with the way their inspection was carried out.

Neil Leitch, CEO of the Early Years Alliance, commented:

“Given that inspections have historically been a source of significant stress for early years providers, it is incredibly welcome to see such a positive response to Ofsted’s latest post-inspection survey.

“Alongside the increased focus on collaboration and educator wellbeing in the new inspection framework, it does seem that the overall approach to inspections is shifting in the right direction. We look forward to working with Ofsted to make sure these positive experiences become the norm.”
