A lovely lady from Ofsted visited me this morning, she was here for 3hrs and 40 mins!! She was like my shadow and followed me around everywhere, inspected the house, chatted to the children etc... So lucky to have had a nice inspector after reading all the horror stories on here!

I got graded outstanding in numerous areas and told that there's no reason I wouldn't be able to get an outstanding next time. She said how well I had done considering I've only been minding for 6 months. Just got to polish up on doing my obs.

She commented on how nice it was to meet a male childminder with such a positive attitude and that I was great male role model for the children. :blush:

Just waiting to read her report now, how long does it normally take to appear on the Ofsted website?

Thanks to all those people who have helped me over the last 6 months, I really appreciate all the input!

Now my wife and I will get our children into bed then eat our posh meal from Waitrose and a bottle of champers! :clapping:

well done!

now celebrate, relax and enjoy your job:)

my inspector was lovely too, they do exist :laughing:

Well done!:clapping: You should receive a report in the post first to check through, it then usually takes a couple of weeks to go online.

Fantastic ! Well done you. Now send her our way, DH has his first inspection due any day now :eek:

You should get a copy of your report before it appears on the Ofsted website. Mine took just over a week by post; others have had theirs e-mailed to them. You then have 24hrs to say if there is anything you're not happy with.

Mine took just over 3 weeks to make it on to the Ofsted website.
