This session focuses on the renewed Ofsted Early Years Inspection Framework launching in November 2025, led by Jude Simpson, Early Years SHMI for the East Midlands.
The new framework places inclusion, collaboration, and professional dialogue at its heart — ensuring that all children, particularly those who are most disadvantaged or vulnerable, can achieve, belong, and thrive.
The renewed framework aims to reset relationships with the sector, reduce workload, and ensure inspection feels collaborative and constructive — recognising the expertise and dedication of early years professionals across the East Midlands
