Hi
I have an old slightly rusty climbing frame in my garden, which my children love. It is on a barked and grassed area, but NEXT TO a concrete path, so theoretically if a child fell off they could land on the concrete path (OPPS!). My own children are 6 and 8 years and they LOVE it! But I don't think there is any way it is going to pass an ofsted inspection - firstly because it is quite old and rusty and the screws that hold it together are on the outside (built like that and cannot be changed), so although I could repaint it and get the rust off I would still have problems of screws, and secondly because of where it is - and there really isnt anywhere else in the garden to move it too.
So what should I do? Is it ok to leave it until my pre-reg visit and see what the inspector says and what she/he suggests, and just say that I have my own concerns about it, or should I remove it before hand. Me and hubby are quite keen to get rid of it but problem is that my 8 year old loves to play on it and when we mentioned that ofsted may not be so keen, she was really upset!
Thanks for any advice.
Miriam
