Early Learning & Childcare (ELC) Services            

ELC inspectors work in our inspections , complaints or registration teams, with services across the public and private sectors.

Inspectors have experience supporting the delivery of high-quality care and learning for children and have significant knowledge of current developments and challenges within the sector.  Inspectors work with children and families experiencing ELC services and service providers, managers and staff and be confident to support and advise on improved outcomes for children.  They have experience delivering improvement in a service, partnership working, applying good practice guidance and be able to respond to and manage change. Inspections within the early centre may be carried jointly with HMIE or solely as a Care Inspectorate. Sometimes we may have an inspection model of a Care Inspectorate and a Lay Assessor. This is a supportive process that gives the centre an opportunity to showcase pieces of work and share our developments and passion for Reggio Emilia learning and teaching.
