Can't help thinking it's crazy - i know it's another cycle of inspections but what a waste of money - chances are she will have stopped before she gets her certificate and considering how long she was left last time she is feeling a bit peeved.
Is there any way to avoid it? Will Ofsted see sense?
Doubtful until you formally give your registration up Ofsted will still inspect
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door
