Are you all aware that there is a new parents poster now ?

Ofted will expect from September that you have the correct one on display

I can not find the new one on the Ofsted website not sure if anyone else can ?

It is a picture of 2 little boys playing with musical instruments

It is def the new one because Ofsted sent it me last week with an enclosed letter

If you want Ofsted to send it to you call them on 08456 404040

Thanks for the info Angel. They have only just sent me the previous poster of kids playing the garden!

angeldelight

Yeah I know thats the thing Sandra they seem to be changing it a lot of late

I did not even know this new one was available till they posted it to me

There is more information on this new poster so its easy to know that it is the correct one because its been changes for the EYFS

The picture takes up half the page with writing underneath

It says ...........

Ofsted registers and inspects childcare for children aged from birth to 17 years

Registered childcare providers and childminders have to meet requirments that relate to safety , the people providing the care and the organisation of the childcare. Childcares who care for children aged from birth to the 31 August following a childs fifth birthday also have to meet requirments for childrens learning and development

Then information about how to contact them etc etc

You DO NEED THIS POSTER so I suggest that if you dont get it soon then give them a call

Did they say we are all getting one automatically? Or we need to request one nearer September? :D

angeldelight
16-07-2008, 10:14 AM
Well I had mine automatically I did not ask for it I did not even know there was a new one

I think its unfair if they dont send everyone one out

I will try to scan it later and maybe if I can get it on here you can just print it out

You not got that one? I was sent it with my certificate in April xx

Don't think I have any posters llike you're talking about but it's just so overwhelming I don't know what I have and haven't got. I'm in the mood now to tell the inspector when I have an inspection just what I think about all this we have to do and all the paperwork and planning etc we do that we don't get paid for and which stops us from being with our own family and puts us under this much stress! So I'll probably get struck off! :censored:

Love Sue

Jinx
16-07-2008, 10:24 AM
The lady I spoke to said that I should ring nearer September and request one!! She did put me on hold for a few seconds whilst she checked that the info she had was correct. (or more likely to have a swigg of her coffee!)

24-07-2008, 10:05 AM
What makes me laugh with this is that in the letter it says "Ofsted recommend that you display this post while working" . Now that little word recommend, suggests just that...... it is recommended not compulsory!

Yet if they come to inspect they ofsten mark down for it not being displayed! :angry:

Got mine - laminated and put it up straight away - put the old (but not that old) one slightly behind something else on the notice board just in case I get inspectded before September and it was wrong to change it so soon. They didn't actually state when it should be displayed - oops another silly mistake by ofsted (or did I miss something).

OK, I'm confused - I have been sent a Parents Poster with my reg cert last week. It has a group of children playing outside, there is a traffic cone in the picture and the children are dressing up. It states Ofsted registers for under 8's. Is this OK to use?

I had to ring and ask about the change in registers, and ask for the letter that had been sent out to others about it, I wouldn't have known anything about it had I not read it the internet! (Whilst looking for something else too!!).

I am so glad I stumbled across this forum, I've learned so much already!

16-08-2008, 12:49 PM
I was really thinking seriously about giving it up even though I was a minder from 1987 to 2002 and have just started work again. I love my job but Ofsted have made it a nightmare but being in this group/forum has made the world of difference to me and now instead of thinking about giving it up and being terrified of Ofsted, I'm thinking more along the lines of telling Ofsted what I think of them when they come! :D Everyone is very friendly and will always reply and help you and it's all so much clearer when explained by the girls. :clapping:

I have the new one it was sent with my new certificate for my new address last week (i now have the new type of certificate aswell) but in another envelope they sent me another different poster with children playing in a garden with a parachute not knowing which one to use i now have two on my wall!!!!

DudleyChildmind
11-09-2008, 12:06 PM
I emailed Ofsted asking for one of these posters but they said they don't send them out and that I would have to visit their website and print it off myself. To be honest, if they want me to display their poster then I think they should send me :mad:
