The new Quality framework for the early learning and childcare sectors reflects our ambition for every child, in every setting, to experience high-quality provision.
This comprehensive framework will now guide self-evaluation and inspections across all early learning and childcare settings. It replaces all existing Quality improvement frameworks for these sectors.
Its formal use in inspections will begin on Monday 22 September. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the content and new quality indicators.

The framework will be published online on Thursday 18 September and used in inspections from Monday 22 September.
