Graded OUSTANDING but .....

[Nappy Tastic]

apart from bouncing off of the walls with joy - what now?????

The man at Ofsted said i would be getting my Outstanding pack soon, what is that a badge, baby wipes and a pack of nappies, should have asked i guess but i was so busy squealing down the phone i toally forgot

I knew at the innspection i got outstanding but it didnt sink it until report come through the post yesterday.

I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED ive only been minding 14 months and had a really rough time of it with regards to other minders so now im am thrilled beyond words

Thankyou also to Sarah who helped e so much last year with my observations and she made me understand it. so thankyou

I didnt know what to expect on my first real inspection (they came out June last year and I reg Feb = got good) but this was the real one, i threw paper work an a coffee at her (well not literally) in aa heat proof cup thing and then i just got on with whatever i was doing, so asked questions here and there and then at the end she said how do you think you did i said not sure but i would have liked to have thought i got a good same as before.

She turned her screen around to show i got outstanding for every single section and over all i had to do a retake as i just couldnt beleive it, probably because i wasnt thinking i would keep good.

thrilled that i got outstanding but what now then? ive heard so many things about specialised logos and once outstnding they come out every year! HELP please xxxxx

Think I read you get a cd with the logo on to use on paperwork and advertising. I got outstanding on my first one on Thursday and as she was leaving she said the next one would prob be 3 years, but she did mention that with the changeover that could change - implied she had no idea if would, but just a maybe as until they're outsourced properly they won't be aware of the changes.

well done you must be thrilled

wow! well done you!

The pack you recieve contains a generic letter of congrautlations, a certificate and a cd with the outstanding logo's on which you are allowed to use on your paperwork.
At some point you will also be invited to an oustanding seminar i think.

I was graded outstanding back in march and my pack only arrived two weeks ago, so they are a bit slow at getting them posted out.

Congratulations on you grading

I'm still waiting for my pack as I want to start re-advertising and use the logo on my website and leaflets. But anyway WELL DONE!
