Were often asked lots of questions and encounter many myths about our EIF inspections. Currently, were being asked about the revised EYFS framework, which came into force on 1 September 2021. Weve answered the most frequently asked questions on the EYFS and on inspection practice below. However, we encourage people to get in touch if they come across other frequent misunderstandings.

So, weve developed these pages to help all registered early years providers and schools delivering the EYFS with what they need to know.

Were not in the game of tricking people or catching them out. Were looking to see settings and schools as they are. We do not want people worrying about what they think we require, when that may not be the case.
