Joining the inspectorate as the new curriculum leads for early education are Nursery World contributor Julian Grenier, who is currently head of Sheringham Nursery School and Children’s Centre in Newham, and Mireille Macraild, who is currently education services director early years at Herts for Learning Ltd.
Nursery World understands the pair will take up their new roles after Easter.
It follows the move by Ofsted to focus more on an early years setting’s curriculum offer under the Early Years Inspection Framework (EIF).
The news comes after Ofsted’s deputy director for schools and early years, Gill Jones, left the inspectorate in October after working there for more than 15 years. Replacing Jones is Lee Owston, formerly programme director for schools.
