The last London Ofsted Big Conversation took place on 11 April at
the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) head office in Marsham Street.
It was hosted and chaired by June O'Sullivan, chief executive of LEYF,
and co-chaired by myself.
This was an open meeting for the sector to come along and meet Debbie Jones, Ofsted regional director for London and national lead for social care. She was accompanied by Jane Wotherspoon, an HMI with the national lead for Early Years Foundation Stage, and John Kennedy, a London HMI. Both Ofsted and the sector engaged in a respectful and constructive conversation lasting over three hours.
The aim of the 'conversation' is to identify how Ofsted inspection and regulation helps the sector achieve our shared goal of delivering outstanding early years education and childcare for all children and families.
