I've been minding for 16 months and have heard a dicky from mrs o, is this normal and would you ask for inspection?

Did you not have one after becoming registered to get your grade? Have you been looking after under 5s? I would certainly ring them if you haven't had a graded inspection.

Didn't you get an inspection after you had been registered for 6 months?

It took them 11m to come and do my first one. 16m does sound a long time doesn't it

They came to me when I had been registered 6 months and 2 days lol! Talk about precise!

Mine was 5 months after I started, I was pleased it was early as 6 months would have been middle of summer holidays!

No, I have no grading. Had someone come out to ok a variation for 2 under 1s after a month of minding and since then nothing. I'm in two minds as to whether I should give them a poke or keep my head down. I feel a bit like I MIght be in trouble for not having had a grading yet.

I've been registered for 12 months and no grading either

If your ready for it and up to date with paperwork etc then give them a ring and ask what's going on. You wont be in trouble, its their fault not yours. They will probably say they are behind and it will be xxx months.

Ive still not had my new certificate yet for the changes in Sept. Dont know why its taking so long to print out new certificates. :rolleyes:

I registered in Mrch this year, missed a call form Ofsted in September coz I was on holiday and they said they would come in November. Its now December and still no Ofsted! Bit annoying coz Im ready and waiting :)

registered in June 15th, and they coming Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Registered in June they came yesterday! I had 3 weeks notice as she was very busy and said she had to do it by mid dec as that is the 6 month deadline from registering. I am glad it's all done and can start the new year as I mean to go on:-)
