Have you looked at the new style inspection reports on the Ofsted website yet?
The first few are starting to appear and they make interesting reading.
They still seem to be as long as previously (about 8 pages) but they are set out differently.
The gradings are on the front page along with information about the provider and -
• Reasons why the provider has the grade s/he has been given
• Reasons why the provider is not outstanding (for satisfactory and good providers).
After some factual information the report is then split into the 3 new inspection outcome areas -
• How well the early years provision meets the needs of the range of children who attend
• The contribution of the early years provision to the well-being of children
• The effectiveness of the leadership and management of the early years provision
You can search inspection reports by date on the Ofsted website (http://www.ofsted.gov.uk) if you want to read how they are now worded.
I have written about the 3 new inspection areas in e-book 61 'Inspections from Sept 2012' - it is available on my Knutsford Childminding (http://www.knutsfordchildminding.co.uk) website
