The Kirklees Quality Award - Quality for Young Children is a Quality Assurance programme that is designed to support settings to reach Quality Assured Status. The award is specific for all sectors of day care including Creches, Out of School Care, Nurseries, Children Centres, Pre-school, Childminders, Schools, Early Years Units and Youth groups.

The document is based on the 10 Dimensions of Quality developed by Pascal and Bertram for the Effective Early Learning Programme (EEL).

This Quality Assurance Portfolio is designed to use in conjunction with the Kirklees Quality for Young Children Document to enable settings to achieve Quality Assured Status.

Settings seeking accreditation need to work through each section of the Quality Assurance Portfolio. The Portfolio clearly sets out the process that needs to be followed to achieve Quality Assured Status. It is expected that it will take from 12 months to 2 years for settings to complete the accreditation procedure.

This scheme is endorsed by Investors in Children. Endorsement with IiC tells people that a provider accredited through an IiC scheme is committed to delivering standards associated with high quality programmes and positive child outcomes.

If you would like to have more information on the programme please contact us and we will send you the brochure and a Video/DVD explaining the scheme.
