Looking to explore your EYFS provision in-depth and build confidence for an upcoming Ofsted inspection or deep dive? This pack is tailor-made for EYFS leaders who are based in primary school settings (either with or without a preschool / nursery) and is designed to mirror how Ofsted inspectors use the Education Inspection Framework (EIF) to assess the effectiveness of a setting. With audits for each area of the EIF and separate deep dive audits for the seven EYFS areas of learning, this bundle helps you to consider your setting’s strength and weakness so you can plan for improvement and (if you feel you need to) prepare for Ofsted.
