Worrying Ofsted inspection outcome...
We are discussing a worrying inspection outcome on our Independent Childminders Facebook group today...
A childminder was told by her inspector that she had to use the car for school runs because she was keeping the children out of the house for too long and she wasn't providing them with enough learning experiences while they were sat in the buggy... the school is about a 1 mile walk and she explained to the inspector how they did all sorts of games while they were out and some children took it in turns to practice walking etc...
Members of our FB group are horrified!
I have to say I thought something like this might happen with the focus of inspections now being on how much we teach children - but... :ohdear:
