That's what everyone is hoping I think... but since it doesn't actually say that, we cannot assume inspectors will give us leeway...

Since it's not in statutory guidance they can't 'fail' us for it... but I would hate to get a lower grade on a misunderstanding...

I believe it's one of the things NCMA are querying

Well I think we raise very valid points between us - the NCMA, OFSTED etc would do well to take a look!

But presumably if you want an outstanding - and it would be nice next time around - you are going to have to comply and do everything in the guidance as 'best practise' or has been said they will downgrade you

a lady on a course(tutor) told me once its good for kids to help with laundry as it teaches them life skills, colours, numbers,big & small, whos is whos so it can be that bad

my little ones hide under the sheets in the summer and make dens whilst their drying

Just when I think I read the EYFS something else is pulled up lol

Maybe it's for nurseys becaus eof the amount of beeding, bibs ect that they would be washing (or do they send it away!)

Whooooo there a thought, putting my washing through the books as I've had to send it away to get washed and ironed
