It shows that Outstanding by Ofsted Judgements at the most out of 173 providers with a valid Inspection judgement, 159 (91.9%) were judged Good or Outstanding. The data presented does recent inspection. Positive not include those judged as Met or Not Met (which means there were no children on roll at the time of inspection), or those settings Numerator: Number assessed as Good or that have not yet had their first inspection. OFSTED has currently suspended inspections due to Covid-19, however the Best Start in outstanding Life team continues to provide advice and support to settings around quality assurance. Denominator: Total number inspected. Cumulative All OFSTED inspections of early years settings has currently been suspended due to Covid, however they will be reinstated in June 2021. There will also be a revised EYFS Framework in place from September 2021. All childminders that have received Inadequate or Requires Improvement Ofsted judgements are being supported by children’s centre Early Education Practitioners with reference to DfE learning development, safeguarding and welfare. The Best Start in Life team also offers tailored training delivered or commissioned by the LA, devised in response to actions raised by Ofsted or by the LA. Settings which are Inadequate are not advertised to parents online until at least a Requires Improvement judgement is reached at a subsequent inspection. Settings which receive a judgement of Requires Improvement cannot provide eligible 2 year old places, but can provide eligible 3 and 4 year old places. These settings will be advertised to parents, however they will also receive intensive support from the Best Start in Life team to improve their judgement. If a setting is judged as Inadequate or Requires Improvement, then parents will be supported to find an alternative setting. Data is based on inspections carried out since the introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in 2008. Benchmarking: As at 31/08/17 (latest DfE published) England Good or outstanding - 94% Direction of travel: 20/21 compared to 19/20. CYP02 % take up of eligible 2 year olds of the 15 hour 54.0% Spring N/A Red (Down) 61.4% 54.0% 70% The percentage of eligible 2 year olds taking up entitlement in the 2020/21 Spring term (January - March) was 54%, this is 7.4% lower than the Early Education Funding offer (2020/21) (2019/20) same term in the previous academic year. This year Covid has impacted on take up and while we had started to some recovery in the 2 year old Positive take-up after the initial summer lockdown last year, going back into lockdown has seen take-up reduce further. We are working with Hempsells who have been commissioned bby the DfE to support 2 year old up-take. We are also working with Public Health colleagues to develop a communication strategy to promote positive engagement and improve parental confidence in returning. Staff have also been undertaking KIT calls and in-person contact within settings. From Autumn 2014, Local Authorities have had a statutory duty to provide free early education for disadvantaged two-year-olds. The DWP determines who are likely to be eligible children against a set criteria, therefore % take up can be presented. Eligible families can access places from the term after the child’s second birthday. The maximum entitlement is 570 hours across a year. The childcare offer is most commonly accessed 15 hours per week in term time but there is now a range of providers offering stretched free entitlement across the year. Although provision is a statutory duty, take-up by families is on a voluntary basis and families will not always take-up childcare in the Neighbourhood in which they live. Note a target has historically not been set for this indicator given the timeliness and accuracy of the DWP data and the churn in Newham. However a review of the approach to this PI will take place to determine whether targets are appropriate to set in the future. Reason for execption: Covid impacted. An indicator which has failed to meet target for two consecutive months, or projections suggest the end of year target will not be met for annual indicators.

We have seen a positive return back to school nursery classes. 7,000 6194 6,000 5050 All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free early years education from the term after their 3rd birthday. Take up fluctuates 5,000 4,000 across the terms due to the single point of entry for 4 year olds to school nursery classes in September. 3 and 4 year old numbers 3,000 eligible for 15 hours tend to be highest in the Summer term and lowest in Autumn term. Note that it is difficult to establish the 2,000 eligible cohort as 3 year olds become eligible the term following their 3rd birthday. As a result % take up cannot be calculated 1,000 0 accurately. 0 Autumn0 Spring0 Summer0 Take-up for the 2019/20 Summer term (April - August) cannot be accurately reported. Early education providers have been funded on the basis of their take-up during the same period last year - this is due to government guidance and a desire to help keep business open and in operation during this difficult time. While the Best Start in Life team has continued to support providers and have been conducting regular checks for take-up, this is not easily reportable as the data is not stored in the childview system. The BSiL team has been requesting weekly reports from providers over the summer term in order to try and track numbers in provision, however not all providers have been submitting these weekly returns. Snapshots taken in June and August show 394 children in provision in June and 831 children in provision in August. These numbers are across the age ranges and offer and are therefore not specific to this indicator. Note: a target has historically not been set for this indicator given the fluctuation in numbers being eligible and no denominator being available.

Although we have seen a fall in take-up 2019/20 2020/21 Positive following the initial summer lockdown last year, numbers have recovered reasonably well and have remained fairly steady despite 1271 1,400 going back into lockdown. Parental and provider surveys show that working families are still utilising the offer which is why we have 1,200 1074 1,295 seen the increase in the uptake for eligible families. 1,000 800 1,059 600 There is no definitive list of eligible families for 30 hours. Newham's childcare sufficiency assessment uses a methodology developed 400 by York council to estimate eligible numbers , which Newham has adopted. The established view is that, whilst this methodology is 200 0 the best available, it does tend to overestimate the numbers of eligible families. Therefore, a % uptake is not calculated.
