    Default Don't Normally Answer "Witheld" call but....

    But glad I did as it was "The Call". It looks like my long overdue Ofsted Inspection will be happening soon. Feel relieved and slightly panicked all at once. Mrs O did sound nice though.

    Hope it all goes well

    Good luck with that and glad to hear you are looking forward to a visit - I last had inspection 3 years, 11 months ago and as from this week I am not answering the phone to any numbers I don't know - they can leave a message!

    I thought mine was supposed to be last August but still not appeared. They have been to the 2 preschools near me in the last month so they are in the area.

    If you go by the three year rule then I should have been done Oct 2011 . However, Ofsted's site used to state that you will be done at least once in a cycle which is 46/47 months. I believe the new cycle started Sept 2012 an s as I was Satisfactory last time would have been one of the first (after settings with two consecutive satisfactories).

    Am quite ready, just need to tweek some stuff.
