    Default Waiting for Prospects

    Well after a couple of weeks of being told by Ofsted that my info has been passed to prospects, I have spoken to prospects today and they actually have my information!

    I'm finally on the home straight!

    She's just advised that they have a four week deadline so I need to be inspected, report done and certificate dispatched (all being well and they find everything as they want it) in that time!

    Basically in 4 weeks I should be officially registered! Woohoo!!!

    I'd ring again tomorrow and 'very nicely' ask at what point are they in the reviewing process?

    I did with mine and it does seemed to have moved it along!

    Good luck xxx

    I do find Oftsed very hit and miss, depending on who answers the phone! I've been calling every week (since the 10 week mark!) and up to this week they clearly couldn't be bothered, just leave it with us etc. This week I got a really helpful lady who went off to find out what's happening, who's been chasing it etc. Still didn't get me anywhere but just makes a different when they're understanding that we're waiting to earn money...

    Hope we all hear something soon!
