had my first inspection today, but haven't actually been graded yet. Inspector wanted to have a think about it and read what she's written...am on tenterhooks waiting for call (either today or tmoorrow)...

thats horrible to not tell you, is this the new way of things?, got fingers crossed for tomorrow xx

forgot to say, i am sure that you will be fine, sending hugs xxxx

How odd! Maybe she wants to check something out with her boss?

Did she give you any feedback? x

I thought it was odd too. She said that she didn't have any concerns or anything and said that i need to work on is to have more multi-cultural games etc. I have some but not enough.

We discussed doing more about planning but she knows that I'm currently attending a observation assessment and planning course and she can see that I've done some changes to my obs sheets....she complimented me on how I dealt with the three very different 3 year olds and I was fair to all (not too hard/soft with my own DD)...

...am so confused.

Thought I'd impressed her with a couple of things that I've done off my own back etc, but she didn't give me any kind of indication; just said what the four types of grade were...i dunno I just feel odd....

Thats awful fancy leaving you wondering :panic: Hopefully no news is good news as they say :thumbsup:

that is weird, i had my inspection today and she told me my grade..

oftsed must be very big on multicultural toys - she kept mentioning them too!

well done for having your inspection over!

still haven't heard...feel sick :mad:

Can you not call her - this is all rather unusual and very unfair to you :mad:

i have left a message

surely if she thought i was inadequate she would tell me there and then wuoldn't she? I'm sure that she didn't think that but now I'm all doubting myself and am so close to tears

Its so unfair - hope you get a call back very soon :thumbsup: and that its good news :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Aww, bless you. Inspections are stressful enough without this added on top. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you today. When you do speak to her, whatever the outcome, explain what her actions have done to you and how she has made you feel. She should be made aware before she puts anyone else through this dreadful situation. BIG HUGS x

I think that's awful to leave you not knowing. I definately don't think you would get unsatisfactory as she would def say soemthing at the time. It may be that you are between two gradings and she wants to check. Try not to worry but make sure you call her again before the end of the day as a cm friend of mind was left hanging for days and days and then couldn't get hold of her inspector due to hol ans then illness. In the end her report just arrived and she didn't have a chance to speak to the inspector about it!

Hope it works out ok for you xx

I think it would have been fairer to tell you which gradings she was considering.

Fair enough if she needed to check something out with her superior but she should have done that asap and got back to you.

Hope she picks up your message soon

Miffy xx

when i had my first few inspections they never used to tell you the result , i was surprised with the last one that they read the report out to me explaining what was written , far better way
fingers crossed for you and think positivly she may be considering betweent an good and an outstanding
