Well done you!!! My inspection is overdue from Feb, so any tips about what the inspectors were hot on would really help as I'm expecting them sooner rather than later. Then the stress will really set in!!!
Congratulations again.

That's all completely terrifying to read! I was also hoping to get an outstanding grading when I have my first inspection, it seems highly unlikely though! It's so good to hear that there are others in the same boat with the same concerns and hopes!
It seems when it comes to your inspector it's luck of the draw!
At my second last inspection, my inspector told me - as soon as she walked throught the door - that I wouldnt get another outstanding on her inspection, as she believed there was always room for improvement and therefore never gave outstanding as a grade ??? :eek:
I think there should be more standardisation for inspectors to follow - I liaise regularly with two colleagues and we share ideas, documents, policies etc and all 3 of us were graded differently ??:( seems really unfair as my friend who got a satisfactory is an excellent childminder
Yep! Same scenario here! My inspector was absolutely lovely. The report arrived today and it honestly sounds like an outstanding judgement. However, I was told that I had not been minding long enough to show progression.
My mindee has completed all the 0-11 months on development matters and is well on her way to completing 8-20mths. How is that not showing progression?
The reasons on the report for not outstanding are not having a scrap book (my pics are all on my computer with obs) and not enough parental input. Well, when you have a parent who doesn't even want to look after his sick daughter on his day off, you don't have much hope for input!! But that's another matter!! Hee hee!!
Anyway, well done to us all with our top end of good! Lets all pat ourselves on the back!!
