I had my first graded inspection yesterday and it went really well.
Mrs O was really relaxed and friendly and put me at ease straight away over a coffee! I wasnt grilled at any time, we just chatted which felt a lot less intimidating that I had expected.
She watched me play with the kids, had a look round and looked through all my paperwork. I told her all the plans I had for developing the business as I am on a tight budget and need to plan ahead. She was really pleased and said that all the areas of development I had identified were the same as her thoughts and this meant that I was thinking along the right lines.
I only got halfway through my SEF and didnt submit it but I printed out the word document with as far as I had got and she said that was fine and if I wanted to leave it on that document and not submit it then that was fine.
I got good overall and am so chuffed with it. She said that Ofsted would email me the report quickly. Does anyone know how quickly they normally come through?
