Preparing for your visit
Solihull Early Years Team Setting Improvement Visits
The setting improvement visit is an opportunity to reflect with your adviser on the
EYFS and/or Ofsted requirements and any support needs that the setting may have.This year’s focus is ‘Voice of the Child’ – the different ways you ‘hear and see’ the children and families in your setting and how this is used to influence provision and practice.
