Ooh, don't get me started on risk assesments!!!
I have written risk assesments for every room used for childminding and for the garden and outings. I have an in depth description of each room, the risks associated with it, and how to minimise the risks. this stays in my file all the time. I also have a risk assesment form that I use to record my findings on a monthly basis and also do a written toy and equipment log every 6 months.
I had my ofsted inspection before xmas and was given satisfactory, because mt risk assesments were not in enough detail!!!
I appealed against the decision, but guess what...... they sided with the inspector
Even though I could prove I had what was required for the eyfs legal requirements. They 'quality checked' my complaint, but it was based on what the inspector told them, which is hardly fair.
It nearly made me want to give up, but I will not let them win
I have since found out that the inspector I had is well known for being a cow, so I guess I was just unlucky.
Sorry for going on a bit,
