Hi, sounds like an empowering undertaking! I don't know of any specifically sorry.
If you can identify what you'd like it to focus on maybe that would help individualise a format..
Questions could be along the lines of ..
Do we provide enough opportunities for children to explore creatively.
Do we support/promote children's creativity.
Where and when is creativity a concern.
What does creativity in care, learning and development mean for a/our setting.
What areas of creativity do we focus on - how do we maintain a balance.
Is there a difference in how gender/age/disability accesses creativity in the setting.
Would an audit focus on a specific area help..
Creative learning
Creative development
Creative expression
Creative ideas
Creative actions
Creative outcomes
Creative provision - inside, outside, loose parts, attitudes & policy.
Creative partnerships
Creative culture
Creative business
Cultivating creativity
Critical thinking and creativity
Creativity, listening and the role of hearing / participation, the role of the senses and creativity.
Training & existing knowledge of creativity
- Available knowledge
- Extending knowledge
Focussing more on percieved areas of creativity could be:
The Arts and mark making, messy play, sculpting, needle craft, wood craft, joinery/connection/construction and building, metal craft, gardening, obervational craft - wildlife/nature, recording, beading and weaving, food craft, online/internet activites, storytelling, music, performance, hair, whole body, faces, care, language and communication, addition, subtraction, division, multiplication - lumps of dirt for numeracy games
Or how a setting enables creativity through:
Discovery
Inspiration
Invention
Innovation
Exploration
Its adults
Its children
Disability
Syndrome
Disorder
Disease
Illness
Inclusion
Open ended
Closed
As ongoing, personally I'd look to keep things compact, workable on the front line!
How does everyone feel about creativity.
What is everyone's definition of creativity.
What creativity do they see around them.
What creativity would they like to see around them.
What attributes does creativity have to better provision.
To safeguard & risk assess:
How do policies and procedures support creativity
How do policies and procedures promote creativity
How is the setting's environment set up to support, involve and challenge creativity.
What resources are collected
What resources are purchased
How frequently do purchases/collections happen
How frequently are specific resources obtained.
How are resources accessed:
-- For planning needs
-- For individual / group initiated activity
This document is good
From ofsted:
Learning creative approaches that raise standards although maybe would change the emphasis of the less grounded 'speculation to a more workable 'prediction.
I enjoy looking at creativity/curiosity as built in. It removes any need to actively motivate participation leaving only the need to provide
Individuality challenges this in such a way that it acts as a means to adapt any provision looking to achieve complete inclusion.
These are interesting reads:

You could also build something that compliments the current record/observation/SEF systems your setting has in place or use the 410 unit content to formulate an audit document
Hth, let us know if you find anything xx
