Hi all starting childminding last week, so called Ofsted to say I now had a child on roll, I was told I had to do this.
Had a call today saying that my first inspection is due between now and 31st May. Do they still call about a week or two before or can I expect them at any time?? Want to get it over with but would like a bit more experoence than 2 weeks if you know what I mean lol.

They will call you before they come ... don't worry! :D

Ofsted contacted me back in November to say that my inspection would be between then and the spring. They did phone again the week before they came out though :)

Don't worry they will call to make sure you are home before they come. I got a call on Fri 5pm asking me to let her know three days when I would make sure I would be home the week ahead. Good luck.:thumbsup:

At least you can start to get prepared

Good luck

I'm sure they'll call you again but at least it gives you time to get sorted

Thanks for your replys, I have a couple of things still to do, so glad they will call again, I have been looking on the ofsted site, searched 10 miles from my post code to read other reports got about 5 pages in an not one has had an inspection since 1st september.

Anyway I have 2 things to sort out and not too sure about how to do them
1. I still haven't done the coshh ~ not sure how to set this up
2. not started SEF do I have to contact ofsted to do this or download somthing or do they post you the forms. I know how to fill them in once I have them lol.
So any help of the above would be appriecated.:blush:
