Well girls - sorry but I have switched sides

Despite my saying I would not get a personal reply - I have - it is short but the response does show she has read my letter

Here is the response


Dear Penny,



Thank you for your email. Regarding your concerns about the lack of individual inspections one possibility could be to provide childminders with a choice, they could either register with Ofsted independently or be part of an agency. A childminder, like you, who already provides advice to the local children’s centre could also choose to become an agency.


Best wishes,



Elizabeth Truss MP



So there you go I CAN BE THE AGENCY :laughing::laughing:


For goodness sake!!!

How would I do that - I am a childminder I look after children - I can easily pop out and check quaility - with all 4 little ones in tow.

And we would have a 2 two tier systm those under a agency and those having individual inspections - NO WAY. Every child has a right to high quality regulated care and eduation and every parent has the right to choose where they send their child based on personal visit and individual inspection report.

Then again- maybe the money would be nice -what was it 10%


Once I have calmed down - another email / letter needs to be sent.


Penny :)

It just gets better, doesn't it?

I think I'll apply to be an agency, then I can inspect all my childminding friends. I'm sure I'd be totally impartial, though the ones who provide the best coffee & cake would obviously get a higher grade :laughing:

And if we have some cms registered with Ofsted and some with agencies (who might or might not be cms), how on earth is that going to make the system easier to run??

Mouse - you have NO IDEA - the ones who provide best cake get lower grades - so you have to visit again - and have MORE cake :D

Seriously though in the days when I was network coordinator - I did have to assess my friends - it was not easy.

not you Penny :) - cake here any time for you, with or without support or inspection!

If any of my local CMs did that I would not be happy as one was the person who reported me and got me suspended without knowing facts but did not ask me, then would not let me know who it was as they were afraid of comeback from me!

Thank you for this Penny. I am also intending to write to Elizabeth Truss as well as my local MP and this gives me more 'ammunition' if you like, for me to put my point forward to her and my MP.

I love writing 'complaint' letters and have had some success over the years pmsl. So, will totally enjoy this one!

I might even include a picture of URANUS on there, because clearly she is neither from MARS (male childminders) or VENUS (female childminders)!! Plus there's an added insult iyswim lol

Go for it - the more letters the better - and if you enjoy it even better.

Personally I hate writting - due to my difficulties with the written word - but when I have to - I just get on and do it - even though it takes me hours to do what others do in minutes - and the end result is miss typed, miss spelt, and punctuation in wrong place or just missing - I work on the theory that my passion will shine through :D

She needs to work out then that money (as in agency fees ) does not interest me - that I am passionate about chidminding- that even when I was paid to run a network I did far more than I was ever paid for (including running a 24 hr support line that was against the rules - tough I did it) - that I am fighting for ALL childminders right to an individual inspection - not to feather my own nest or have my moment of fame.

But hey Miffy - if you are right and I have worried her - or even just ruffled her feathers - well that is a good thing :D

Juggler - have you not read her 'paper' - she has loads of 'research' in it - most of it out dated - some from another planet, lots from other countries failed systems, a few comments that might have been mentioned by a drunk or someone who hates childminders. But lots of research.

As I have always said - research can be made to say what you want it to say - if you look hard enough for that one bit of 'vital evidence' - ask any uni student - if you look you will find a quote for anything and everything!

Now RS - your DH has had a really good idea - I will sign up for that - and because it would not be professional to inspect our best friends - we could travel to other parts of the country - I would quite like to do Devon or Cornwall :D And to be completely professional every year I will take a 3 week holiday from Childminding - stay in a nice hotel and just 'do' all the inspections while I am there - support could be via the web or for an extra fee I would travel at the weekend to deliver some training. :laughing::laughing:

That would be true peer support :D

Those coming to inspect me in Kidderminster would not get such a good deal but we have a forest, a safari park and the servern valley railway - so not all bad.

Best idea I've heard all day!:laughing:

She really doesn't have a clue does she? Its like when she was asking had Saira listened to the today prog and when I listened it was a 79 yr old grandmother who'd got a childcare diploma so she could get the government subsidy to look after her grandchildren. Well I look after mine, their Mum gets 70% of the fee's in childcare tax credits, and I'm studying the level 4 cert EYP. So in what way would it be better for me to register with an agency so they could charge us 10% of the fees!?! She doesn't even know whats already happening in her own country :angry:

Also I notice in her report that there is no distinction made betwen childminders and nannys in Netherlands so a lot of the 'host parents' she is talking about will actually be nannys. I've nothing against nanny agencies being able to process childcare subsidies, just leave us out of it!!!

Maybe

Dear ET

We have decided that we like your idea oif a agency model, but after reflection and professional discussion propose the following amendments.

Keep Individual Ofsted inspection

Set up peer support agencies whereby those with outstanding or good grades support colleagues

Scrap the 10% fee - introduce payment in cake (large slice for support vist and some to take away to cover cost of visit report)

Penny


Will that do?

The only problem that I can see with the "cake for grades" senario is that some unscrupulous business people will be selling outstanding worthy cakes on ebay.
How will we know that cms have made their own cake & not just bought in the whole package, passing it off as their own?

Will be need to see evidence in CJs (cooking journals) with photos, evaluations and next steps for improving the quality of their victoria sponge?

Oh gosh Mouse - you are right I had not thought about the buying of outstanding cakes!


Mmm yes will need some evidence - although of course in the name of research we could buy all the outstanding cakes on sale, taste them, and become very familiar with them so that we would know the real thing when we saw it :D

When I had my interview for network coordinator I was asked how would I recognise quality childminding - I replied I could not define it - but would know when I saw it - so with the cake grading system - we could not define it but would know when wee tasted it :laughing:

A while back on facebook I decided I set myself up as a home based inspector I'd have different charges for different grades awarded - I would only be awarding a limited number of Outstanding's per month, followed by a larger number of Goods for a slightly reduced fee, for those not willing or slow to part with their hard earned cash there would be a limited number of satisfactories available and anyone late in with their funds would be awarded an automatic inadequate - it would be strictly on a first come first served basis the funds would have to be in my account 1 full month before the month the inspection is due. In the first year I would need minders to furnish me with past inspection reports and a SEF and I would compile the reports from that - a few photos thrown in for good measure if hoping for outstanding would be good so I would know what to base my waffle on.

Hey presto an inexpensive system in place without much effort on anyones part and most importantly not cake envy - sorted!!!! - I think there may be room for others interested in jumping on the inspector band wagon as I couldn't cope with all 67,000 childminder inspections but we could not flood the market either as the inspectors would need to make a half decent living from it.

Other plus's it would also be saving the environment because there wouldn't be inspectors creating green house gases driving all over the country and no hotel room expenses - no staffing costs at agencies - to me its the way forward - what does anyone else think. :idea::idea::rolleyes::rolleyes:

We dont need to inform OFSTED of variations and we no longer will have chance to look after the children properly because:
1. We will be working on our baking skills
2. We will be supporting Penny to become an agency
3. When Penny brings her mindees round, they can be counted in our ratios
Come on woman stick to what you good at.......not sure what that is yet, but it sure aint bright ideas:rolleyes:

Ok for the record I can be bought with ANY non chocolate cake, cheesecake and foreign cake. If its got chocolate in you need to get a different inspector because I will give you an automatic unsatisfactory grade. I won't even reinspect you - so you will be stuck with that grade indiffenately. I will ensure that your report records that you tried to get me hooked on Chocolate which in my view is like getting me hooked on coccaine.

So there you go - I am corrupt as they come but be warned no CHOC!

Well yes there is Miffy - but I think you will be able to be accredited for prior learning - either a portfolio of evidence - or my prefered option a talk to myself and other inspectors about your views on different cakes - with samples for us to judge your opinion against the national cake grading standards.

I am free this Sunday evening - if you are really keen to get started. I think inspector UF needs some retraining - she should not be 'brought' for such a low fee - I think she is forgetting the fee she has to pay to me as 'owner of the agency' :laughing::laughing:

Of course I am not telling you this - because ET would strike me off her approved agency lists.

But if you do buy cakes - don't get those outstanding ones from ebay - they are a bit stale - and we inspectirs can spot then a mile off.

Buy from the best shops in your town - also buy some extra cream, create some cream splattered washing up - mindees can do this as cream over them will help convince the inspector that cakes are indeed made by you. Serve with quality coffee and you will be fine.

RS - I think you need to pay Pauline to promote your business on here :D

I can assure due to my professionalism - I will be trying every single one of your outstanding ebay cakes - I hope you have a paypal account because I don't want to wait for my cheque to clear before I can enjoy (sorry sample) each and every cake


Inspector Penny

Oh yes I may have to become a Forum friend. Sorry Pauline I didn't mean to upset.

Yes Penny we have Paypal :thumbsup:

Oh yes all paperwork included including photos and serving suggestions. I think I might include an apron as well so you have the one in the photo. :laughing:

Oh I would give a full refund for any grading achieved less than a good. Remember I have been Commissioned by Buck house. ;)

Ok for the record I can be bought with ANY non chocolate cake, cheesecake and foreign cake. If its got chocolate in you need to get a different inspector because I will give you an automatic unsatisfactory grade. I won't even reinspect you - so you will be stuck with that grade indiffenately. I will ensure that your report records that you tried to get me hooked on Chocolate which in my view is like getting me hooked on coccaine.

So there you go - I am corrupt as they come but be warned no CHOC!

OK! so I want you as my Inspector - I bake anything - including non choc cakes. Just drop a hint of faves when you book my visit and I am sure I can come up with an Outstanding cake ;);) . I am in the south east - hope that's an area you cover. My carrot cake is a secret recipe from a chef friend and I have a great collection of books to choose cake from too :laughing:

I am liking this pre inspection :D

I like it. Do you think between us we could inspect everyone every year? That way we could offer more Outstandings and show how the standard of childcare is being raised year on year?

I really don't see why not - I suppose if we had anyone border line then we could send the willing cake loving travellers out to visit them - All sounds very good to me!!! - I can really see this taking off big time ;);)
