    Can't think that she is that outstanding if she is so careless with her registration number

    How bizarre...I personally wouldn't have my reg number on there. Unless she's an ex-minder (but it looks current doesn't it?) And as you say, what a strange thing to want to sell.

    If you buy her SEF your only kidding yourself when OFSTED come round and after a while id say they will pick up on it and realise the same SEF is being used, id prefer to get a Satisfactory Grade thro my own merits than an Outstanding Grade thro someone elses

    And as for putting your EY number on there
    its a man thing

    Just checked this out on ofsted - cos I'm nosey and she is outstanding in all areas but it was from 2009... perhaps she's gone a bit downhill and needs the money now

    Thats abit naughty isnt it!

    Surely if you bought someone else's Sef it wouldnt fit your setting as we are all different anyway.

    but how can one persons SEF match anyone elses? we all work differently.

    i've moved and am currently in the middle of re-writing alot of mine as my setting is different, i don't currently have any mindees ( ) and things change all the time.

    a while ago, i read a friends through for her, and we were saying the same sort of things, but hers was in her words, and mine in mine!

    Yes but has she put her number on so people will check and see that she is outstanding and be tempted to buy it?
    When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door

    It is her sef and not suitab le for any other setting. However I guess it might give an idea for wording and how much she has written.

    I went and looked at the report as well! Here is a link for anyone else who is curious:

    I would say the money would be better spent on one of our friend Sarah's e-books. Thats what I found helpful.

    I think this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!! How can anyone use someone else's SEF

    Littlestar, I hope you understand that I've removed the link as I wouldn't want anyone thinking that the forum was condoning such a thing and use the link to go and buy it! I wouldn't want to give it one bit of promotion!

    The SEF is a personal thing (or should be!) all about you and your setting, no way can you use one from someone else.

    Ricky, I've also removed the link to her report as I don't think we should be doing that.
