Our Bespoke Service To You
Halo early years consultants have designed their services to specifically address the challenges early years providers have in their settings.

Our commitment and dedication is to support and motivate early years and childcare settings to reach their full potential, using an holistic approach.
No matter how big or small the task, we can offer guidance and consultancy to inspire you to work towards your targets and achieve your ultimate goals.

The following highlights some of the key services we offer, although this is not exhaustive.
You tell us what you want; your wish is our command!
Quality Review Visit
During our quality review, we will thoroughly assess all aspects of your practice. This includes conducting discussions on leadership and management within your setting. Following the review, you will receive a written report. This will include actions and advisory notes which will assist you in making improvements to your setting.
Follow Up Visit(s)
Halo early years consultants, give the utmost priority to centering next steps around our clients. After a quality review, you may opt to tackle any areas of development independently.

Moreover, we extend our support through follow-up quality reviews to track your progress and offer further guidance, if deemed necessary.

Pre & Post Registration Support

Once you have completed the registration process, the real challenge begins as you put theory into practice. It is important to assess whether your setting, or any existing setting you may have taken over, is functioning as smoothly as you had anticipated. Are your staff members working collaboratively and confidently fulfilling their roles and responsibilities? If you should find you, or any of your team, including any existing or new manager, require assistance, we are here to support you.

We would also be there to support you, five days a week. on the end of a telephone or via a quick email. This would be a bespoke package for you. This service will help to prepare you and your staff for your next inspection and that initial notification call.
