Education and early years
Compliance and operational support for nurseries and schools
Inspection ready policies, records and systems, so leaders can focus on children and pupils rather than paperwork. I review what you have, close the gaps and put the processes in place to keep it right.
Sound familiar?
- Policies still reference an old version of the EYFS or KCSIE
- You are not sure the single central record would pass a check
- Staff files, contracts and job descriptions are incomplete or out of date
- Records are split across paper files, email and WhatsApp
- An inspection is due and the evidence is scattered
- The manager or business lead spends evenings on admin
How I help
Compliance audits
A site visit and review of records, with a clear report of what to fix first.
EYFS and Ofsted readiness
Policies and practice checked against the current EYFS framework, with the exact wording to change.
School policy reviews
Policies checked against KCSIE and the Independent School Standards, ready for inspection.
Safer recruitment and SCR
Recruitment files and the single central record checked and brought up to standard.
Staff documentation
Job descriptions, contracts, KPI frameworks and staff records that reflect how the setting really runs.
Administration and fundraising
Simpler parent forms and admin processes, and matched funding campaigns where a school needs one.
What changes
The goal is a setting that is ready for inspection all year, not just the week before.
Policies that match the current frameworks
A single central record you can stand behind
Complete, consistent staff documentation
Evidence organised before the inspector asks for it
Less admin landing on the manager
How it works
Initial conversation
A free call about your setting, your deadlines and what is worrying you.
Review and mapping
A site visit and review of policies, records and processes, with a written report.
Recommendations and build
Prioritised actions, updated documents and simpler processes, each with an owner and a date.
Support and improvement
Regular visits or check ins until every action is closed, and a review before inspection.
How pricing works
I offer hourly and project options, depending on the work involved. Short calls and quick questions are not charged.
Defined pieces of work can be quoted at a fixed price after an initial conversation.
Questions
Do you work with schools as well as nurseries?
Yes. I support early years settings under the EYFS and Ofsted, and schools on policy reviews, documentation and inspection readiness.
Do you replace our safeguarding lead?
No. I support your leadership team with reviews, documents and systems. Responsibility stays with your setting.
How often should we have a compliance visit?
Many settings choose monthly or termly visits, with an extra review before an expected inspection.
Can you help after a poor inspection?
Yes. I can work through the report with you, build the action plan and support you until every action is closed.
Can you help when we expand or change premises?
Yes, including the documents and processes needed when a nursery registers again with Ofsted.
