Julia’s the UK Early Education Editor at Famly and co-host of the Tiny Chair Podcast. She brings with her a wealth of Early Years sector experience, having held positions from apprentice to NVQ tutor and assessor (and pretty well everything in between). Julia entered the sector in search of like-minded individuals and found a room full of three-year-olds fitted the bill perfectly. She shares stories of amazing practice in the Early Years, from our very own Famly customers and is passionate about championing the vital work of the sector.

How will Ofsted inspect Early Years settings from November 2025?

In this webinar, our speakers from Ofsted will cover:

  • Practical changes to expect on inspection day, from The Call to the final meeting.
  • What to expect from your inspector
  • Changes to the 'learning walk' and the "three Is"
  • Whether you should consider a 'mocksted' inspection
  • Understanding the report card

I have questions about the new style of Ofsted inspections in Early Years

No problem! We've set aside 15 minutes at the end of the webinar for Ofsted to answer your questions. You'll be able to submit them in the Q & A function once the session is live, or email them to me at jr@famly.co

Can't make it?

Register anyway and we'll send you the recording afterwards.
