Due Diligence

Early Years Hub provided Apiary Capital with early years due diligence for our investment in Bertram Nursery Group (“Bertram”). Knowledge and experience of the early years curriculum and framework covering both England and Scotland were important elements of the due diligence exercise. The Early Years Hub team’s work focused on auditing the quality of Bertram’s early years provision, as well as assessing leadership and management practice within the business. I can recommend the Early Years Hub to others who are engaging in due diligence processes that support potential investment into the childcare sector.

EYHub Workshops

We have attended several workshops delivered by the Early Years Hub, and they have all been highly informative and worthwhile events. Their sessions are always conducted in a professional manner with good speakers. The workshops are held in convenient, well- chosen locations that meet our needs. I am therefore glad to recommend them to my peers in the Early Years Industry.

General – all courses

At Kids Allowed we have used Early Years Hub to deliver our safeguarding training and Designated Professional training for the past few years and have always found the courses quick paced, highly interactive and very informative. Inevitably the courses have contained upsetting content, due to the nature of safeguarding children, but this has been introduced and delivered sensitively to the needs of the team. The courses have been easy to organise and have always worked around the needs of the business.

Safeguarding Training

The safeguarding course was very informative and the discussion sessions enabled all participants to reflect and discuss best practice. The case studies idea was particularly good at getting individuals to understand safeguarding outside of their normal roles

Inspection Audits

Rachel came into our out of school club setting and carried out an ‘inspection audit.’ Rachel was detailed and through during her visit-she followed the inspection handbook and covered all aspects required. We were given a fully comprehensive report several days later, again following the Ofsted requirements. The report highlighted areas of strength and identified actions that needed to be addressed. The whole process was conducted professionally and fully prepared us for our imminent Ofsted inspection. For any setting due an inspection I would highly recommend the services provided by Rachel and her team.

Inspection Audits

We recently commissioned Early Years Hub to assist us with our quality assurance. Rachel has recently completed an audit at one of our settings in line with the Statutory Framework. Our staff were put at ease throughout the process and their knowledge and practice was examined thoroughly. We received specific targeted feedback which will enable us to continue to improve our provision.
