Visits

A member of the Oxfordshire Early Years team can visit to:

  • Undertake an Early Years Review.

The Early Years Review is not an inspection. It is an objective and robust evaluation of practice and provision. The review enables you to check the accuracy of your self-evaluation and can reassure staff and leaders of judgements. The review is supportive and collaborative. It is a tool to help you to monitor and evaluate your early year’s provision. The consultant will provide support and guidance throughout the visit.

  • work with you on any area of practice you feel needs developing

Prepared training packages

We can deliver a range of training packages in-house at team meetings or on whole team training days. You could also pool resources with other early years providers in your area to buy in joint training days or sessions at area network meetings.
