Wow loving this - the ball is really rolling now - about time Ofsted were cross examined like they do us - only they don't have to respond instantly like we do on an inspection.

Today I have also joined LinkedIn where the Ofsted inspection discussions started in the Nursery World group...there is plenty of awareness and does not stop at the EY sector

Nursery World are also asking cms who are having problems with funding to join in and share their worries

I am there just to keep my ears open on both those subjects and make sure cms are represented with the odd post while I know Sarah is busy on Facebook

It is a huge task and, honestly, I could not follow all the discussions unless I strapped my laptop to my waist and never took my eyes off it

But it has got to be worth the effort until these matters are sorted
