Hi

I just wondered, been childminding since August 2004, i had the registration visit then i was inspected in February 2005. Do Ofsted just turn up or do they ring you to arrange when they might come???

worried they might just turn up :eek: like to be able to plan!

I had a phone call and we arranged a week I was working and named 3 days that she would turn up on Mon Tue or Wed

Avril :laughing:

They usually give you a few days notice of an inspection so don't worry.

Miffy xx

They ring you up a few days in advance usually x

oohhh thank you, i can breath out now!

i need to know so i can talk the kalms!!! and get the coffee on and the bread baking! hehehe :laughing: or is that when your selling your house? hehe

Forget the coffee offer water it's healthier and they should lead by example!

Have a nice shepherd's pie or casserole slow cooking in the oven to show you plan healthy home cooked meals

Should be a walkover :laughing:

Hope they get round to you this side of the EYFS... :D

I heard somewhere that there not inspecting after March, is that true? My inspection is due this month but haven't heard anything.

:eek:

I'm not sure anybody really knows... lots of rumours flying about :D

It seems there will no inspections from april until eyfs as Ofsted has to get ready to inspect the new requirements

Miffy xx

crikey i will need that long to gen up on EYFS, done a two hour course too, still clear as mud!

still hope they come after april.

Sorry I think it was one of my posts that scared you to death! As I have explained in my PM to you it is because I am in Wales!!

Good luck for your inspection

:eek:

I have heard it from a very reliable source.......All inspectors will be receiving their training etc during April - August and therefore more than likely there will not be any ROUTINE inspections.

Hope this clairfy's a little

Another interesting point I heard at the weekend at the forum was that if you have gone past your expected 3 year date for inspection it would be good practise to ring Ofsted to remind them that it is due!!!!!!!

Oh god, thats me then - 4 years in May. I dont see why I should ring them. My Early years co-ordinator said last week it should be by end of March. If not heard at end of this month I might ring her but not Ofsted if I can help it.
