Master Your Inspection with Confidence
Your Go-To Guide for a Stress-Free Ofsted Inspection
Feeling uncertain about Ofsted inspections under the new 2025 model?
From November 2025, early years settings will face a refreshed inspection regime: no more single overall grade — instead, a detailed report card across multiple areas. That means new expectations around inclusion, leadership, and everyday practice.
This new approach brings higher expectations for evidence of impact — not just having plans in place, but showing how your actions have improved children’s experiences and outcomes over time. Inspectors will focus heavily on your everyday practice, your ability to reflect, and how well your team understands your setting’s priorities and context.
Our free guide is your roadmap to navigate those changes with confidence. It gives you practical, ready-to-use tools so you can walk into inspection knowing your setting reflects excellence in every area.
