How many children aged under three should childminders and nursery staff be allowed to look after at the same time?
A relaxation in the number of pre-school children that nurseries and registered childminders can oversee has been announced in order to professionalise the pre-school workforce and cut the cost of childcare in England.
Daycare Trust, in partnership with Westminster Briefing, is organising a policy and practice briefing. This event will allow you to engage with Ofsted and other key experts, in understanding the new EYFS framework and how it will be inspected and regulated. Examining the new arrangements you will participate in a number of interactive sessions, with case study examples focusing on how the arrangements will work and what this will mean for you and your setting.
Ofsted will publish the new framework for the inspection and regulation of Early Years providers in June. The new arrangements will take effect from September, in line with changes to the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
The publication of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage and new arrangements for inspection and regulation will radically alter the landscape of early years provision and inspection. This conference will allow participants to examine the implications for them and their setting. Giving attendees a clear understanding of the new arrangements, timetable and implications, key issues to be addressed will include:
Delegates will be drawn from across the education and children’s services’ sectors, including representatives from local authorities, early years settings, primary & infant schools, the voluntary sector and private providers, children’s centre staff and child minders, training providers, and professional associations.

Report reveals childcare is the luxury that families have to afford as figures show that nursery, childminder and after-school club costs are all rising at more than double the rate of inflation.
The two charities merged on 1 January 2013 and the new charity will be launched in April 2013.
