'EY Blink' is an early years visit and review aiming to enable all practitioners in a setting to become better than they already are. Run by the National Education Trust, it involves an experienced early years specialist visiting a setting for a day, to discuss areas of practice and provide a written review for the setting to reflect and act on.
While the process shares some similarities with an Ofsted inspection, national programme manager Angela Jackson emphasises that is very much 'a private dialogue'. Many settings that commission Blink have already received an Ofsted 'outstanding' but are looking for new ideas or a fresh approach.
