    You can try googling the inspector's name, that is how others have said they have done it (not tried myself).

    Or you can search reports by area and date on Ofsted reports website, so if you look in your area (county or constituency etc) you could open the reports and look for the inspector's names.

    I do it the hard way - by going on Ofsted inspection reports putting within 5 miles of my postcode, looking up all reasonably recent reports trying to find my inspector and what they are "picky" on and reasons why "childminder wasn't Outstanding" - then I made sure I wrote about how I do those things (or don't do them - if it was negative) in my SEF.

    I have looked at all repots in my county for the last year and she doesnt show up at all. I am thinking maybe she is new or moved from another area.

    They often travel quite long distances. One of mine had a two hour car journey to get to me!

    Have you looked at recent reports on the Watchsted website?

    Good luck!
