i'd wait it were you! i havn't bothered finishing it, got half way and then gave up! its not compulsary. i might have a look at the new one when its up and running tho. i expect its as ridiculous as the original!

I think they may have already changed it, did mine yesterday as I need to put it as evidence in the NVQ - the last half of it didn't seem relevant to the SEF guide I have

Subject: Re. updated SEF


Hi, I understand from the literature I received yesterday that the childminder SEF and guidance notes are being updated.

Can you please let me know when this will get put onto the Ofsted website... or whether it is being posted out to all childminders..

Thank you,

Sarah

My reading of that email is that it's not finished / published just yet.

We must wait with baited breath a little while longer :D

Oh ok then thanks Sarah.

I guess I could carry on filling in the SEF & cut & paste onto the new version as its going to be asking the same isn't it.

Thanks again:)
