    I don't know Katie.

    I am sticking with the Every Child Matters outcomes.

    My table of how to show you are meeting Eyfs is uploaded into files on www.childmindinghelp.co.uk as well but that's not the way I'm doing it at the moment. I'm waiting to see what happens when the first inspection reports come through.

    I think we just need to show we are working to all 3 sets of requirements for the registers... Eyfs and these new ones.

    so if you are on all 3 registers make sure you have the right stuff written in your policies .

    I'm on all 3 as well, I feel that we have al been well and truly stuffed by Ofsted!! It has now gone 10pm and I for one am not interested in EYFS any longer, I will go off and find some alcohol and chocolate and go off to bed. When I awake I will hopefully find that it has all been a really bad dream, and Ofsted have disappeared along with thier conflicting comments.

    Can I also reiterate my comments from a thread yesterday


    have the solution

    1. go to the cupboard and get out a (now this is important!!!) LARGE wine glass

    2. collect corkscrew and bottle of wine

    3. open said bottle of wine (other alcohol will work)

    4. pour a very (this is important as well) LARGE glass

    5. go a and sit in a darkened room and drink until glass is empty

    6. repeat instructions 4 and 5 until the bottle is empty

    after this if you can still remember or care who Ofsted are and their inane comments please return to instruction 1 again and repeat the process


    feel they are valid here as well

    Quote from another email a friend received from Ofsted about the differences in the lengths of time (20 or 28 days) for complaints policies... she is a nursery setting so it is a requirement that she has policies for Eyfs...


    To ensure that you are covering what is expected of you under both the Early Years and Childcare registers you would have to ensure that a separate complaint policy is in place for each of the registers requirements.

    Right with you Jaz - I got large bottle of magners!!

    Makes thinking much easier when you are drunk - print, look at, now comes the old chestnut of - hic I can do that well easy hic - job done

    might not result in physical injury as so often happens when you are drunk and think you can do something but I can feel a serious brainache coming on

    You know something Miffy - you are spot on, surely there must be more to life than panicing about Ofsted and their many registers
