I have no idea what extra guidance is going to be published, but feel the same concern about implementation of the framework in wrap around care & shelf stacking as an attractive alternative ! (for Childminders as well !!)
What ofsted & dcfs need to know is, if the time spent on additional & extra paperwork is going to be worthwhile in comparrisson to the hours spent implementing it (or worrying about implementing it ) in the care provision .. that's where the workforce will suffer
wages probably wouldn't even enter this equation !!
This news page from Ofsted asks for feedback on inspecting different areas of provision .. Wraparound care being one ~
Consultation closes February 1st 2008 (not long :muted:) if you let them know all your concerns and worries maybe they will be able to provide some feedback to DCSF that will eventually allow a more time manageable & reasonable format of data entry & application ?!!
Do you think there's going to be the opportunity to use & extend the Nursery and School's Eyfs to incorporate everything that you do ?
That could be an awful lot of liasing
have you spoken to the Head & Nursery manager ?
Please keep us up on any news ...
