Who do we support?
Nurseries: nurseries are provided with regular visits from an early years development officer and an advisor in addition to telephone and email support. All staff within the nurseries can access training via the EYQI team through the provider portal.
Childminders: as an Ofsted-registered childminder you are entitled to regular support from EYQI development officers. This includes support over the telephone and email, visits to your home and via training sessions. We will support you to meet the Ofsted statutory requirements and to offer a good quality childcare environment for your children. Childminders are able to access training through the provider portal.
Out of school clubs: as an Ofsted-registered out-of-school club, we offer you one visit a year to support with Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements. Out-of-school clubs are only able to access our safeguarding training.
Childcare-registered providers: if you are a childcare provider or childminder only registered on the Ofsted childcare register, compulsory or voluntary, you are entitled to telephone and email support from the early years development officers.
