just spoken to my network co-ordinator about my first graded inspection next week & she said she's REALLY annoyed with ofsted at the mo. The lady doing my inspection she says is not showing any consistancy at all in her inspections. Shes really pushed to get the new minders on the network to get a "Good" but she says they seem to be moving the goal posts all the time.
On a brighter note - she's told me not to worry. She said that she doesn't know why, as she says my paperworks all upto date & she's sure i'll be fine, but she'll come & see me tomorrow afternoon.
She has warned me not to get my hopes up for a "good" as this inspector has yet to grade a new minder good, they have all got satisfactory. She said that she knows a couple who she can't see why they haven't had a good - but hay, i'll be happy with satisfactory as at least it shows i'm meeting all the standards & requirements. She also mentioned that the inspector seems hot on diversety of needs?
Oh well - what ever happens on the day happens. I will keep you all up-dated though. :)
