I had my first Ofsted Inspection 4 weeks ago & rcvd a satisfactory with 2 areas of good.
The inspector told me this was due to the fact that I had only been minding for 6 months and that I wouldnt have enough paperwork to support forward planning for the amount of time I have been minding. She also said that my observations were not as detailed as they should be & that as I hadnt filled my S.E.F out, she had nothing to look at to see if I have been running a reflective practice.
I recently discovered that a friend that registered at the same time as me has rcvd a good and am feeling a little deflated about it all. My inspector didnt move from my table for most of the visit and then quickly looked in my kitchen, front & back garden. During the visit she didnt ask me any questions relating to EYFS, Safeguarding or learning areas which I thought she would.
Yesterday I rcvd a call from Ofsted telling my report was ready and that they were emailing it to me to reveiw and if I had any concerns or the information on it was incorrect that I had till Monday to call them about it before ir goes to print. Is this what normally happens for a first inspection?? As a few other CM's have suggested it be a strange prodedure & that they have never heard of an inspection report being emailed before!!
