Together with Estyn we have developed a joint inspection framework for childcare and play services.
What we are doing
From January 2019, we have jointly inspected care and education in regulated non-school services eligible for funding for part-time education.
During these joint inspections, we inspect the care of all children up to the age of 12 and the education of three and four-year-olds that do not receive education in a maintained setting.
Joint inspections
Our joint inspections will deliver:
- One inspection report that covers standards in both childcare and education
- A revised inspection framework that covers fewer, but broader areas
- New timescales for the length, frequency and notice period for an inspection
Useful documents
We have published inspection guidance, a factual accuracy document, and follow-up document for the joint inspections.
