I have now been waiting nearly 3 weeks for Ofsted to send it to the (right) inspection team (after they cocked the days up twice and then sent it to the wrong inspection team that covers down south) and the inspection team HAVE to come this week or next but as yet I've had no phonecall. I've lost 4 parents due to it, not to mention HUNDREDS of pounds of supply work I could have done if my DBS had been back sooner. I have two parents who want childcare in the next 3 weeks which should be do-able. I was planning to start in February- little bit late for that :-/
