Ofsted - what we really need to know !

Here the Beckies talk about what is it that Ofsted want to discover when they come to call. They are joined in conversation today by Nicola Blatchly - Lewis who is a trained Ofsted inspector (this is just one of her roles). So we thought we would ask her the 'ins and outs' about Ofsted, and what can we all do to feel more comfortable when the inspector comes to call...Hearing the voice of the Ofsted inspector and being supported!Here Nicky explains what it is like to be a trained Ofsted inspector and how she has trained. She talks about the privilege of coming into see early years providers and realistically talks about the feeling of 'the big bad wolf' coming to call. We discuss the Education Inspection Framework in practice together and Nicky shares ideas of how to prepare for Ofsted in the real world of daily practice... We chat about being honest and realistic in your normal everyday practice and understanding what you think about your practice. We are very happy getting down and playing lets show this, relax and be yourself.So join us all for 10 mins for this amazing chance to gain help from a trained Ofsted inspector !Useful ideas and links mentioned in the podcast that might help (you're welcome) ...https://www.earlyyears.tv/video/dr-julian-grenier-on-effective-research-in-an-early-years-setting/www.educationendowmentfoundation https://researchschool.org.uk/eastlondon/https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/successful-early-years-ofsted-inspections/book268011Head to  www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk to discover more with The Beckies.Training for educators, key note speakers and workshops, one to one sessions for speech language and communication  play sessions for children and families.Publications Routledge:Speech Language and Communication in the Early YearsSpeech Language and Communication for Healthy Little MindsEmail [email protected] you for listening and being part of this awesome Thriving community who empower all children to be understood. Love The Beckies
