The training, which will be rolled out to 900 Ofsted inspectors over the next six weeks, will prepare them to collect evidence and make judgements under the new inspection framework announced last September. Inspectors will also be introduced to new software to improve the efficiency of recording evidence and writing reports.
A spokesperson for Ofsted said, 'Training will focus on the outcomes for children (set out in the Government's consultation paper Every Child Matters) and how to collect evidence, make judgements, and write reports that answer the central question, "What is it like for a child here?"
'Inspectors will also consider how to judge the quality of care and, where applicable, the nursery education. They will take into account the National Standards and the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage. They will also consider how to report on the effective use of Birth to Three Matters.'
