Education Inspection Framework (EIF) curriculum roadshows
Ofsted is running a series of Education Inspection Framework (EIF) curriculum roadshows for maintained nursery schools and any school with pre-reception children attending. These events will be held next month, in three locations across the country.
These half-day events will offer the opportunity to learn more about the curriculum for communication and language in the early years, how we look at this area of learning at inspection and what we have learnt about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Two representatives from your school are welcome to attend. Each person attending will need to register separately.
Current Ofsted Inspectors (OIs) are asked not to attend this event, as specific training is provided for inspectors separately.
Please note that there is no charge for attending one of these events and spaces are available on a first come, first-serve basis.
If you are interested in attending an event, please find below details of the dates, session times and links for registration.
If you have any other queries, you can contact us on events@ofsted.gov.uk

Promoting Partnerships with parents
As many children begin to settle school, new rooms in nursery and child care provision again, we recognise that this is an excellent opportunity for you as early Years practitioners to build upon your partnerships with parents.
Here are five top tips to engage your parents so that you can work together to help children learn and develop:
1) Seize opportunities to gather information informally from parents
2) Ensure that parents are aware of the EYFS curriculum and age-related expectations noted in the Early Years Outcomes
3) Develop a lending library to ensure children can access developmentally appropriate resources in the home
4) Provide stay and play sessions/workshops
5) Know your families!
