    Default Random pregnancy/ baby/ ofsted question

    What happens if you are due an ofsted inspection when you are on maternity leave? Will they come anyway and only grade you as satisfactory because you have no children there? Or would they leave it until you are working again?
    Strange question, I know! But DP and I would like to have another baby at some point and I want to be able to plan it to some extent- as in I don't want to have to worry about an ofsted inspection if I am heavily pregnant or have just given birth!

    My friend was on maternity leave when she got the call and they delayed it until she was back to work

    I rang Ofsted to tell them I was on Maternity so they had it on their system. I then rang them again when I was back as I needed my numbers amending due to the new baby anyway.
