They will not automatically send you out one unless you request it.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your posters and information is up to date.

Half the time they don't even tell us something has changed.....we only usually find out by stumbling over something or if someone tells us on here!

They obviously forgot to tell you that one of their requirements for you to be a childminder is that you have to be Psychic

Do you know what .... i'm keeping the ****** firemen up cos if i didn't come on here then i wouldn't know it was wrong !

ofsted sent me the firemen 4 wks ago so its stopping up . Everything is the same except for the picture.

**wendywu** · 26-02-2008, 11:23 PM

Ive got 3 different ones at the moment, when i am inspected i shall put them all up, the do eny meny miny mo!

As far as I'm concerned as long as you have a poster displayed that gives the correct phone number for ofsted it shouldn't really matter what picture it has on it

Anyone know why they keep changing it anyway?

It has been changed this time because the CIS number on the bottom has changed which does in fact make the poster out of date and invalid!

It is obviously up to you all what poster you want to display...... but i would recommend getting hold of the correct one because we all now how picky Ofsted can be!!

Ofsted picky??????!!!!!!!!???????

Ah thank you Dee for your words of wisdom. I had forgotten that.
Now you know how hard I've been trying to get this poster

O f course i could just print it off but I don't want to waste my ink and it's almost a challenge now to get one

Well don't forget I still have that brick wall if you want to borrow it

The Bromley website are saying that you should display the poster that Dee told us to have up

It is also now on the Ofsted website if you take a look

I can not get the ofsted link to work but if you go to Bromley and scroll down the page you can get to the correct link to Ofsted from there

After sending a really short but pointed e-mail to ofsted i have finally got TWO copies of the new poster!!!!!!!!!

I have also seen the message on the Bromley site but unless Ofsted get their act together a bit quicker and stop sending out the wrong posters or you want to print it off yourself there is not much point in all the publicity iyswim

**angeldelight** · 03-03-2008, 10:19 AM

The new poster is on the Ofsted website now

I agree Miffy they are hopless - hope you are ok ?

**sarah707** · 03-03-2008, 11:07 AM

I requested mine by email about 3 weeks ago now... I think I might ask again!

**allinatiz** · 03-03-2008, 01:40 PM

I emailed to ask for a poster and it came in 3 days. Not only that but it was the right one!!

S with nothing better to do with there time then wind up hard working childminders

I had my Ofsted inspection on wednesday and told the inspector there was a big debate on the poster. I have both the fireman one and the parachute one up and asked her which was the correct one - she didn't know and suggested I kept both up!!

It just goes to show that they haven't got a clue.

I can tell you 100% that the correct poster is the one with the girls playing as the old one with boys as firemen has the old/incorrect CIS number.

You should now be displaying the one with the girls playing with what looks like a parachute!
