HelenaWaterworth Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 OFSTED finally made their appearance yesterday! It is a huge relief as our last one was a whopping 4 years and 3 months ago!! I thought we'd been forgotten! We had a good day and she's due back next week for a morning and then feedback. It all looks rosey so far. I just feel the biggest sense of relief, the wait was driving me crazy. Keep your fingers crossed for us that we get the outcome that we have worked so incredibly hard to get, and a huge thanks to this site and the people who share such valuable ideas to us all, Rach x Quote
Guest Wolfie Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Oooh, well done - have a relaxing weekend, you've definitely earned it! Let us know how you get on! Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Wow! That was the longest wait! Ours was nearly on 4 years and I thought that was bad enough! Glad to hear everything's gone well so far. Enjoy your weekend and let us know how you get on. PS Can anyone beat 4 years, 3 months???! Quote
Beau Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 The waiting is always worse than the inspection itself! I hope you get the grade you deserve. Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Glad to hear it's over and things have gone well. Enjoy the weekend. Quote
Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Can't beat 4 years 3 months....ours was just over 2 years and the waiting was definately worse then the inspection itself. Good luck for next week and let us know how you got on. mrsb P.S We were expecting an inspection within the first 6 months of opening.....we have just had our 3rd birthday. Quote
Sue R Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 We've just hit 4 years - I sincerely hope we don't have to wait another 3 months !! Quote
HelenaWaterworth Posted January 12, 2008 Author Posted January 12, 2008 We've just hit 4 years - I sincerely hope we don't have to wait another 3 months !! I know Sue it's agony! Every person that passed the building with a briefcase sent my legs to jelly. I must admit though I do agree with the no notice policy! Quote
HappyMaz Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I hope the inspection result was worth the wait - and that your 'grade' reflects your practice! Let us know how you get on! Maz Quote
