in my town there were a childminding couple both registered and working together, they took on more than 2 assistants and became childcare providers on domestic premises - and were graded Outstanding. They then managed to get premises outside of their home and decided to open a nursery - and this year opened up! they have just been graded inadequate in all areas with a notice to improve! how can that be - that as childminders they were outstanding but as a nursery inadequate? it doesn't make sense to me if they are doing what they always did but on a grander scale? It's been plastered all over the local papers too! makes me worry how I am going to be graded on my next inspection = as I am currently Good!
