Early Years Register

Providers on the Early Years Register will normally be inspected at least once within a 6-year window.

We will prioritise the first inspection of newly registered providers on the Early Years register. This will normally be within 30 months of their registration date.

Settings will usually be inspected again within:
•    6 years if all evaluation areas are graded ‘expected standard’ or above
•    12 months if any evaluation area is graded as ‘needs attention’
•    6 months if any evaluation area is graded as ‘urgent improvement’.

The setting will likely be reinspected within 6 months if safeguarding is ‘not met’, but there can be enforcement activity in between if required.

 

Childcare Register

Each year, we inspect 1 in 10 of those who are only on the Childcare Register.

We do not inspect any provider on the Childcare Register until it has been registered for at least 3 months unless we receive information about possible non-compliance.

We will usually only inspect a provider on the Childcare Register once in any 12-month period unless we receive concerns.
