One shared standard across an area
For early years, SEND and sufficiency teams who want every setting in an area working to the same whole setting standard, and able to show it.
What it costs
A single setting is £795 to join and £470 a year. Group licences are 10 per cent off each setting, for three or more settings. Area licences are agreed on enquiry, with train the trainer delivery and a full implementation roadmap. The Inclusive Early Years Fund, paid to settings from September 2026, must be spent on setting wide inclusion, which is what the Ecosystem is built for.
What happens next
Book a free 15 minute call to talk about your area. If you would like to go into more detail, a one hour scoping session is £150. Anything beyond what is included, such as a meeting with a commissioner or help with a funding bid, is consultancy at £150 an hour with a two hour minimum, or at the published day rates. See every step for a setting.

What it gives your area

A stable workforce
Supervision, feedback, a real living wage and an apprenticeship model, with apprentices mentored alongside the local college.
Evidence you can check
Built inside a setting judged Outstanding by Ofsted twice, and reviewed against six circles before any setting is listed as accredited. Read the evidence.
Paid for by existing funding

How accreditation is checked
No setting is accredited on the reviewer's word alone. An independent moderator, who is not employed by us and has not advised the setting, checks every decision. Not every setting passes first time, any decision can be appealed, and every accredited setting will be listed on a public register on this site that anyone can check.
Accreditation is awarded by Yasmin A Darling Consultancy Ltd and is not a government scheme or an Ofsted judgement. We hold no children's records: records stay in each setting's own systems.
