Early years providers should be aware of the requirements of the Education Inspection Framework and the Early Years Inspection Handbook which both contain specific guidance for inspectors. Guidance on Inspections
Newly registered providers on the Early Years Register will normally be inspected within 30 months of their registration. Other providers will be inspected at least once within a six year window from the date of their last inspection. When a concern about a setting is received an inspection may be prioritised following a risk assessment that concludes an inspection is needed.
