Ihad my first inspection last friday,I didnt know she was coming and was so shocked when I answered the door that my knees went to jelly.Anyway I got a GOOD with outstanding outcomes,which i have to say was very happy with,but then the inspector said,she wanted to give me outstanding overall,but couldnt because I hadnt been doing it long enough,which has annoyed me a bit......Is there anyone else that this has happened too???

She just turned up without any notice AT ALL :eek: Didn't know they could do that. Thats scary :panic: . well done on the result, especially as she caught you off guard so to speak :thumbsup: Unfair that you couldn't get outstanding in all areas but i suppose if thats the same for everyone then nothing really any of us newcomers can do but just try and go for outstanding at the next one i guess. Good is FAB though!!! WELL DONE :clapping:

jo x x x :)

That is a fantastic result. Well done you, especially on your first inspection. Hope you feel proud of yourself! :clapping:

Well I think you deserved that outstanding, especially with Ofsted arriving unannounced :eek: .

Good on you girl !!

I think you should be really proud of yourself

I would hate for them to turn up like that on my doorstep in fact I would prob hide haha

I like to be organised and prepared and hate people calling like that even worse when it happes to be ofsted

A very well done to you though you did brilliant

That's brilliant, well done :thumbsup:

Thats fantastic to be so ready when they have come unannounced for your 1st inspection. I hope they don't just turn up with me, I'm not ready!

Did you phone them to let them know you had mindees on the role?

I'm afraid I wouldn't have let them in, i would have told them i was on my way out and they would have to come back, they can't just expect you to drop everything and disrupt your plans, I would have been so angry.

Well I think you deserved that outstanding, especially with Ofsted arriving unannounced :eek: .

Good on you girl !!

I agree - I think you deserved it too!

Never realised there was a qualifying period :rolleyes: Think I'd be tempted to query that one

Well done anyway - it's a fantastic result

well done!!! I got a phone call at midday to say the inspector was coming the next day with their supervisor. I received good overall with elements of outstanding. Thankfully i was ready but I would have been very annoyed if they just turned up. there is not reason why inspectors should call unannounced.

well done :)

They can turn up if they want - it's their right, especially if someone has made a complaint.

You should work each day as if someone from Ofsted might knock on your door... :panic:

Well done on your inspection result! :D

Thank you ladies, for all the congratulations,it means a lot.My inspector had rung me a few weeks ago,and just said that she would be coming in the next month,I must admit I had been catching up on my paperwork over christmas, but I thought I was only due an inspection after a year.
I am very pleased with the result and my inspector was lovely and had some good tips for me ,she had a coffee and watched the kids, I wont worry again. THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL ADVICE AND FOR THIS FORUM XXXXX

Congratulations on your fantastic result. Other people have been getting outstanding - so have they been doing EYFS since Before September??? how can that be right? Bet you feel a bit shortchanged because there's nothing you can do about it apart from do it a bit longer:rolleyes:
Well done

Well done!!:clapping: Fantastic result:clapping:

My inspection was 2 weeks ago, I have been registered for 12 years and like most of you started to impliment the Eyfs from September. I have always got Good and was surprised to get Outstanding this time. It can be done!!

Congratulations!!:thumbsup:

Yes i was doing EYFS before Sept and it did help getting Outstanding! but on my first inspection she did say that she wouldnt give outstanding out to a new minder because her boss would say 'how can she be outstanding when shes only been minding a few months'
well done anyway
Tammy

First of all WELL DONE:clapping:

I think that is grossly unfair not to award you an outstanding outright, didn't know that they couldn't if you hadn't been minding for xxx time. Seems a bit off to me.

But nevertheless - WELL DONE that is a fab result

Well done. :)

Well done :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Liz

I don't think it is fair either, you deserved outstanding and should have got it! :(

Never mind - you are outstanding in all our eyes! (if that is any consolation!) :rolleyes:

well done u, Congratulation,:clapping:

Congratulations thats a great result at no notice. I don't think it's fair not to give outstanding just because youare new. A few people in my area have got outstanding first graded inspection.



I think it's very unfair the different times people have to prepare from nothing upto as much as three weeks!!!!!! surely everyone should have the same


Allie

sorry im still getting over the fact that they just turned up :eek: :eeeek:
I wouldnt have performed well at all as im one of those people who likes to be organised.

well done
