    Exclamation All in Favor sign here!-Have your say, Ofsted Petition.

    I have seen alot of unhappy childminders posts in regards to ofsted inspections and I too feel unhappy about mine so have decided that its about time someone spoke on behalf of us childminders.
    This is what I have put in the petition

    Ofsted Inspections and Inspectors to be fair and show continuity.

    Currently the outcomes of an inspection depends more on which inspector carries out the inspection rather than the evidence seen as the guide lines are open to interpretation. Often Inspections are between 3 and 5 years apart when they should be every 3 years.

    We propose

    * Continuity of Inspections.
    * Strict guidelines for inspectors to follow along with training.
    * Separate inspection teams for childminder's, nursery's and school's with inspector's who understand the area of provision that they are inspecting.
    * For satisfactory to remain satisfactory rather than changing to needs Improvement.
    * Fair Inspections where inspectors do not pre judge (some only giving satisfactory to new childminders for example).
    * Less negative wording on inspection reports.

    100,000 votes needed for this to be lobbied.


    This is how you have your say.
    In Favor of the above?

    Hey! Everyone not someone lol. Yes I started the petition but we are all speaking up. I can't do it alone so for every new person that signs, it means our voice is 1 person louder! Xx

    Let's make them listen!!

    Must go, I have people to harass into signing.

    Can I highly recommend that people who are signing this have a look at Sarah's thread about negative ofsted experiences and also my thread about Ofsted and the other one about NCMA.

    Its all very well signing but perhaps we relevant and true stories and experiences... it can all back up a petition and get it noticed more
