Inspection....what would you do?

[guest3]

I had a call from Prospect people around 4 weeks ago asking if I had any children on roll. I told them that I have had mindees since first registering in Sept 2009 and they were surprised as they said Ofsted had me down as not currently minding!

I have never told them this and was in fact due to be inspected back in February but my father passed away and I rang to delay the inspection. I've heard nothing until last month when they said they'd get an inspector to ring me within 2 weeks to arrange my first inspection.

I've again heard nothing but am today finishing with my only full time mindee.
Should I ring them to chase it up or wait until they contact me?
Sorry this is a long post!!

Hi ,
I'd leave it: there's no point having an inspection without children. I think you can only be graded up to satisfactory in these circumstances. Just call them when you have more mindees on roll Or explain when they finally get round to ringing you... That's what I'd do anyway

bws,

Thanks Becca, and Florabird, I have another little one 1 day a week and a baby starting the 4th January.

I would ring Ofsted just to check what their records say - as there have been a few communication problems between Ofsted and Prospects - but maybe wait until settled new baby in

I wouldn't contact Ofsted until the new baby has settled in.

But get everything ready just in case!
