Hi I'm due for inspection at the end of the year and was wondering whether tribal/prospect are doing inspections on time? (hoping they are behind:panic: )

mine was due in july last year, i had it on monday!! but i have heard others in my area say they have been right on time or early, so you never can tell x
I was due June 2010 and had it on Tuesday, a co-minder was due in April 2011: had hers Tuesday too.

I think it's the luck of the draw - some seem to slip through the net, some are inspected bang on time and others up to 6 months early.
I'd start getting ready now Allie just in case :)

Mine was due January, they phoned me just before Oct half term wanting to come out in the half term but i only had 1 9yr old on one day so she said she wuld phone me after half term and I am still waiting.

I was due on jan 10th this year!.................everyone in the area seems to be done on time but Im still waiting!:mad:
I was really wound up about it around xmas but now Im starting to relax a bit , my development worker says Im fine!! .......everythings in place its just the anticipation thats dreadful!! It will be my first inspection since EYFS started so we will see!
good luck everyone thats waiting!!;)
In my area at the moment everyone seems to be having inspections, apparently ofsted are moving into a hotel in the city centre and are carrying out as many inspections as they can next week, i know of loads of minders who have had the call, some of them only had inspections 2 years ago and others had theirs 4 years ago so you just never know!!! :)

I had my inspection yesterday and had my last one 3 years and 2 months ago. My inspector has done several in my area over the last two weeks and some of those childminders had their last inspections nearly 4 years ago.

I have a theory that Ofsted need anyone last inspected under the standards done under EYFS by a certain time.
I live in Peterborough which seems to be getting an unusually high number of inspections of late but there are also a whole load of outstandings and goods coming out of it.
Mine was 6 months early and a friend 5 minutes away was a year over due and we were done within a week of each other.

Overall Good with outstanding in some areas. So she was really pleased. I think she needs a medal after that short notice.
