Make sure you have your driving license!!

[loopy lou]

Hi.

Just a word of warning for inspections. I got satisfactory because i could not find my driving license!! Just got my report this morning. For anyone with inspections coming up make sure that is in with all the relevant car info.

That seems so unfair

[sarah707]

Thank you for sharing the advice... not fair though!

Tbh I would be tempted to send a photocopy to ofsted with a letter stating the reasons why you were not prepared to go looking upstairs while you were childminding - and the child protection issues surrounding leaving 3 children in the care of an inspector while you were doing this for her OR taking 3 children upstairs with you, which would have been equally wrong!

Thankyou for that . Totally unfair! Will have to search mine out!!!

[casey's mum]

That is very harsh! Will search out mine.....thanks for the heads up xx

I've put fishing my licence out on my 'to do' list for my inspection next week. Thanks for letting us know.

[Lottie]

You have reminded me to find my insurance details, service records etc. Thanks.

However what a load of tosh...wow how disheartening that the last three threads I have posted on are all about Ofsted and their 'policies.'

[katickles]

thanks for that - just tried to find mine & can't!

Job for huby when he gets home. Why is it that men can't seem to file things to save there lives?


Sarah has a good point there i think, maybe its worth a try?

[manjay]

We were advised to have a copy in our Portfolio along with copies of Insurances etc

[Rubybubbles]

That's very unfair

I've only been asked for mine once, yet again is it, depends who inspects you.

That is unfair. Seems to me, you must have got a picky inspector. She should have at least given you a chance to send a copy to her.

I know it seems bonkers but the paper bit of the licence says on it that both it and the photocard should be kept together. It states that BOTH must be produced when required.

Think this is a bit daft myself as my paper one is getting very chewed up stuffed in my purse with all the mothballs!

[mum22]

oops thanks for that - if the paper bit and the photocard need to be kept together - why do we need both ???

some digging in the deepest darkest depths for me this weekend......

Think its because any convictions only show on the paper part. Not that I have any honest . And everything will have a photo on it eventually. Nightmare, as I don't photo well!!!!!!!

When my inspector came last week she did not ask for my driving license. She did say have I got my MOT, I said it was upstairs, but she didn't ask me to get it. I said the insurance docs were in the portfolio.

It may be worth getting the mot out as well for those with upcoming inspections just in case.

[foxy lady]

hi got my inspection next week, hadent even thought about my driving licence will go and get it noe

[Lou]

I have never been asked for any of it licsense or insurance or mot....nothing.

Another ofsted inconsistency.

I couldnt find the cats vaccination record last time i was inspected so i locked the cat in the garage ha ha!!!!
