Ofsted Guidance and Quality Improvement Information

Although the Birth to Five Service endeavours to update the contents within this page, we would strongly recommend that Practitioners regularly visit the official Ofsted website on a regular basis for current information. http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/

The Birth to Five Service Team would like to remind Private, Voluntary and Independent Settings (PVI) that it is crucial that managers telephone the Birth to Five Service office as soon as an Ofsted inspector arrives at each setting to conduct an inspection. This will enable us to organise one of our team to be present during the inspection feedback.

Office Telephone Number: 01522 587570
