Early Years Survey Pack

🔒 New for 2026 and fully aligned to the Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit 2025 Gathering meaningful stakeholder feedback on early years provision requires a different approach to surveys in other parts of the school. Children in the early years cannot complete written surveys independently, parents are often the primary source of evidence about how well their child has settled and how supported they feel at home, and staff feedback in this context needs to go beyond general teaching confidence to address the specific demands of early years pedagogy, assessment and care. This pack gives you everything you need to plan, administer, analyse and act on stakeholder feedback about early years provision, and because the core survey templates come pre-populated with carefully considered questions, you can move from planning to distribution with minimal preparation time. You'll get: ☑️ Three ready-to-use surveys – a child survey using a supported emoji/faces scale for use with a known trusted adult, a parent survey and a staff survey – all aligned to the 2025 Ofsted School Inspection Toolkit ☑️ A question and statement bank covering feeling safe and secure, engagement and learning experiences, communication and interaction, relationships and social development, confidence and motivation, settling and transitions, support for learning and development, understanding the curriculum and pedagogy, teaching interactions and assessment, inclusion and SEND, environment and routines, and safeguarding and supervision ☑️ A survey analysis template with tally tables, open question theme tables, a summary and next steps section, and an Overall Summary Triangulation table with RAG ratings ☑️ A pre-survey checklist to guide you through each stage of the process, and four survey letter templates for communicating with parents and staff before and after the survey ☑️ An 18-page PDF guidance document covering the full survey cycle, and a free worked example to help you interpret and act on your results All documents are fully editable so you can adapt them for your school's specific context.
