Services
Every service is tailored to your setting. I don't work from a script - I work from what I see in your rooms, hear from your team and understand about your context.
A comprehensive on-site audit of your setting, checking compliance and how well your team are delivering a rich curriculum. With 17 years of Ofsted inspection experience, I know exactly what inspectors look for - and I'll show you how your setting measures up before they arrive.
Best for: Any setting wanting an honest, expert assessment of where they stand - whether you're preparing for Ofsted or simply want to raise your standards.
Preparing for inspection is about more than ticking boxes. I help your team understand what inspectors are looking for under the new report card framework, how to showcase good practice with confidence, and how to prepare for the planning call. Whether it's your first inspection or you're aiming for Exceptional, I'll make sure you're ready.
Best for: Settings due for inspection, those who've had a change of management, or anyone who wants to walk into inspection feeling prepared rather than anxious.
Bespoke training delivered on-site or via Zoom, designed around your team's needs. I keep fully up to date with all current legislation and framework changes, and I translate that into practical, accessible training that your staff can apply immediately.
Popular training topics:
Best for: Settings investing in their team, those with new or returning staff, or anyone wanting to stay current with the latest framework changes.
Support for managers, deputies and owners. Whether you have new managers stepping up, staff returning from maternity or sickness leave, or experienced leaders who need a critical friend - I provide the guidance and confidence boost that makes the difference.
Best for: New managers, returning managers who need bringing up to speed, or experienced leaders wanting objective support from someone who's been in their shoes.
Opening a new setting is exciting but the Ofsted registration process can feel overwhelming. I guide you through every step - from your initial application to preparing for your first inspector visit. I've been on both sides of registration and I know exactly what's required.
Best for: Anyone opening a new nursery, pre-school or childminding business, or existing settings registering additional provision.
If you've received a complaint, an urgent improvement judgement or a suspension, you need expert support quickly. I help you understand what's happened, devise an action plan that addresses the issues head-on, and work with your team to raise quality and get back on track.
Best for: Settings facing regulatory challenges who need experienced, calm, professional support to turn things around.
A partnership model for settings that want consistent, long-term support. I visit regularly, providing the continuity that one-off consultancy can't match. We build a development plan together and I keep you accountable to it. You also get priority access for advice between visits.
Best for: Settings committed to continuous improvement, nursery groups wanting consistency across sites, or any setting that values having a trusted advisor on call.
Every setting is different, so I quote individually based on your needs, size and location. I offer flexible options - on-site visits, Zoom consultations, and ongoing monthly support packages. Travel is included in all on-site visits.
I'm always happy to have an initial conversation at no charge to understand what you need and give you a clear idea of cost before you commit to anything.
