Overall, most ELC settings perform well. PKC perform consistently better than comparator authorities, and at national level when inspected by Care Inspectorate. Almost all inspections show that ELC settings provide high quality provision for the children under ‘How good is our setting’. Most inspections are good or better for the ‘How good is our care, play and learning’, ‘How good is our staff team’ and ‘How good is our leadership’. Under the new grading system, we are now scoring above our comparator authorities and at national level. A continued focus on embedding the Experiences and Spaces Document and Family Mealtime Experience audit are both having a very positive impact on the grading for How good is our setting. The ELC Leadership programme continues to support the How good is our Leadership grading with a focus on the high standard of Quality Assurance, robust Self Evaluation and Improvement Planning. It should be noted that the Early Years Team are currently working with a number of settings to take forward action plans to address the outcomes of these inspections. Where evaluations are adequate or weak, a ‘team around the setting’ approach is taken in order to secure improvements. Currently, action plans are in for 4 settings which are supported by relevant officers. These are regularly monitored and reviewed with a final report on improvements being presented to parents.

Some settings will be inspected more than once during this period, and some Quality Indicators are not covered in every inspection. The accumulated result of all these inspections is the position of all Early Learning and Childcare services in Perth & Kinross. This chart summarises the proportion of settings that have a Good or better rating, based on the latest inspection for each indicator, and therefore reflects the current gradings of Early Learning and Childcare services in PKC.
