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!

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

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:

: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.
