Miacat3 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 We are a small preschool which lives in a portacabin in a primary school grounds. We get our gas, electricity, water and phone lines from the school supply. Over the bank holiday we lost the electricity supply to our building which resulted in us not been able to run any sessions today as we have no lights, heat or hot water. Now it looks like this could continue for the rest of the week at least as the workmen will need to dig up the cable, find the fault and repair it etc. The school have kindly offered us the use of a modular building on the school site which is a big room with a kitchen and toilets. We have risk assessed the building today and we could make it work for us as a temporary setting until we get our electricity back. We have phoned our insurance company and we would be covered fine if we moved into the modular building. My question is do we need to inform ofsted of our temporary move even if the building is all ready registered with ofsted due to it been a school building and the school nursery and reception class regularly use the building? Advice please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSFRebecca Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Give them a call and make sure you make a note of who you spoke to and at what time. You could also add it on your Ofsted 'dashboard'. Important to keep a 'paper trail!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I would always notify the 'O' people of any significant changes........and this counts, i think, as a significant change, if only for a short time. i'm sure it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
