Is Essex the only county doing quality matters and yearly assessments as well as our ofsted Inspection.So far ive heard childminders have been told they will get red(lowest grade)for simply not completing and returning the additional paperwork.It seems not only are we judged by Ofsted but also the local council.It seems totally demorilising to be awarded good and outstanding by ofsted and made to feel inadequate by our local early years team.The local conversation among childminders in Essexis "Have you been Ragged yet "-it sounds awlful.
Some of us feel bullied into completing deadlines-please can we just play and enjoy being a childminder!!!!!!!!!!
