Hi,

My Inspection was due in July, obviously because of the EYFS changeover ofsted have had a back log of inspections to do.

Does anyone know how far behing they are? I just want mine over and done with.

mine was due April another minder in town hers was due Sep she had hers last week im still waiting:panic:

I am afraid that is not an easy question to answer.

It really does differ from area to area.

I know that my area is pretty much up to date and is now inspecting randomly.

If you want it to be done you could always ring and prompt them.

Same in this area. Seem fairly up to date - or at least catching up with themselves pretty much!

Hubby had his fist inspection 6 weeks after being reg!

Mine too and i am exactly the same, doing my sef now and just hoping i get the call after half term, i am on top of everything but scared if i am ill or a family member everything will just fall behind :panic:

Oh well will just have to wait, oh and it seems ofted are doing the schools first around here!!

i heard a rumour we've all gone back in the pot and anyone could get the call. I actually want them to call. I have spent so long doing all the eyfs and the planning and obs, I want someone to look at it :)

I also heard that they are inspecting randomly in my area as well. One minder isn't due her inspection until May next year, but she ended up having it last month.

I had a call from ofsted today asking me to update my details with them they said i could expect a call from an inspector within the next two months!!!

I was due to be inspected in April and not heard anything, but a friend who was only done last year has been done again! Wish they would come just want to get on with it.

It was 3 yrs in July since I was last inspected so I am expecting my call anytime soon. The only people I know in my area that have had inspections lately have been some pre-reg ladies....so I've no idea whether my area is behind or not (Bradford)

We have been told in our area that all inspections are going to be random regardless of when your last inspection was!

I don't want mine yet - I want everything up together before they come and could be some weeks as lots of family stuff happening at the moment :eek:

Ooh I am in Bradford as well so think they must be behind, my friend was also due in July and not had hers.

I live in liverpool and my inspection was due on 9 September 08 - I received a phone call on Wednesday 29th @ noon to say my inspector would like to come on Thursday 30th with his inspector. I do now of childminders that were due in May last year and still awaiting for inspection. http://childmindinghelp.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/panic.gif

It can't be that random, otherwise some people will get inspected every year and others may go for more than 3yrs.
Guess they don't want anyone to be slacking and we all have to be on our toes all the time.
But then when you are a good childminder, then it does not matter as they will see how brilliant you are all the time.:)
