I was browsing this section of the forum earlier on and can't believe it but Ofsted have just called to check if I'm minding or not. They said because I am they will pass my details on to the firm that they subcontract out to and get my inspection arranged, she reckoned it would be a couple of weeks!!

I am sooooooooo nervous, I want to get an outstanding especially as I'm the only male childminder around here for miles, so every waking moment will be spent making sure I do everything in my power to get it!!

Oh gosh, you'll do brilliantly! Wow I bet you weren't expecting that today! Well what a nice relaxing time you'll have waiting for them! Take it steady, it sounds like you have a bit of time. Good luck! I think I've got a little while yet before they bother me, although sometimes I wish I could just get on and have it soon to get it out the way!

Well, I hope you get an inspector who's not one of the "I don't give outstanding on a first inspection" brigade then!

Good luck

Miffy xx

Good Luck!

Good luck. It does sound like you have time to get everything in order. x

Good luck! Given that you were browsing this section and they called you, maybe it's not wise for me to be reading this, especially as we registered at the same time. Hope all goes well for you. Hx

Well a "very nice" lady from Ofsted called me today and confirmed she will be carrying out my inspection on either Tuesday 15th or Weds 16th March - so yes I have been given a very generous amount of time! Phew!

Let's hope I still think she's a very nice lady come the day!

Good luck, do you need any help?
