The Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care has clarified which of the care standards for early years education and childcare providers will be used in forthcoming inspections over a three-year cycle.
One of the inspections within the cycle, which kicked off in April, will be a joint Care Commission/HMIE inspection, which could take place in year one, two or three. The other inspections will be carried out by Care Commission staff acting on their own.
The joint Care Commission/ HMIE inspection will look at standard two, a safe environment; four, engaging with children; five, quality of experience; six, support and development; and 14, well-managed service. Engaging with children includes staff assessment and planning for children's development and learning.
