The ETI have collated examples of practice in pre-schools in nursery schools, nursery units and voluntary and private pre-school settings across all regions in the period from 1st September to 29th November 2020. The examples outline how some settings have sought to overcome the challenges in delivering digital communication, developing outdoor learning and supporting emotional health and well-being.

The information is based on a combination of district Inspector (DI) visits and virtual visits via phone calls and online staff meetings and information gained through ETI consultation with three focus groups of leaders representing all types of pre-schools.
District Inspectors remain available for support and guidance for all organisations, please contact the Inspection Services Team on 028 9127 9726 or by emailing eti@education-ni.gov.uk.
