Annual conversations
Annual conversation visit
Delivered annually this 3-hour visit is centrally funded for Kent early years registered settings, as detailed in the Kent early years and childcare service delivery plan. An early years or out of school adviser will make contact with you to arrange the visit. The purpose of the visit is to explore and understand the settings approach to the monitoring of the quality of provision, to sample elements of the safeguarding and welfare requirements; and consider the settings place within the self-evaluation and improvement planning processes.
