Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 wow, thanks - will help me with those "mind gone blank" moments when I (and the rest of the Summer SEF brigade) get round to it! Nona Quote
Frenchie Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 well done and thanks for sharing, I am in the process of updating my sef, and am pleased to see that I am on the right lines. frenchie. Quote
Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Hi, How wonderful that you shared this with us all - well done to you Quote
Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 What a star! Thank you, thank you, thank you for beiing soooo kind and sharing. I think mine is definitely along the right lines then, but I especially like the way you have emboldened the key points you are making in each paragraph - I'll alter that on mine, just to make it clearer Gruffalo2 :( :wacko: Quote
Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Hi Thank you very much for sharing, am really looking forward to doing my sef during the summer holiday. and congratulations on your own Outstanding report Quote
valp59 Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 your SEF looks great - Thanks for sharing and WELL DONE on your inspection! Quote
Guest Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Thank you. I will be sure to have a good read of that.......... when I amnot supposed to be getting ready for work! Well done on the OUTSTANDING outcome too! Quote
sunnyday Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Thank you so much for sharing this! I am a member of the Summer SEF Brigade - so this will be very, very helpful! Sunnyday Quote
Guest Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 As others have said, thank you very much for sharing, this makes really interesting reading and happily we're not totally off track with our own draft sef!! I was interested to see that you rated yourselves 'good' in most areas and only 'satisfactory' I think in one area, but were still able to get an 'outstanding' from Ofsted. This has been worrying me, as I think there are very few settings that would be bold enough to grade themselves as 'outstanding' in their SEFs. Many congratulations, you clearly do great work for your local community. Quote
HappyMaz Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Just wanted to add my thanks for uploading your outstanding SEF. It gives a clear view of what it is like in your setting, which sounds fantastic. No wonder Mrs Ofsted was deeply impressed! Maz Quote
Gezabel Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Hi Everyone This is our SEF report that helped us get an OUTSTANDING in our last inspection. could not get a copy that would download on my computer so I have typed it up hope there is not to many spelling mistakes Rosemarie Many congratulations and I hope you have had some well deserved celebrations Thank you too for sharing your SEF, ours was submitted a while ago but it's not on this PC hence I haven't shared it - I never thought of typing it up!!!

Mouseketeer Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Congrats on 'Outstanding' , SEf looks good, particularly like the 'accumulating a collection of willies for outdoor play' ! was reading somewhere about not being able to get above 'satisfactory' if SEF online not completed, spoke to someone in our area who had 'good' a couple of weeks ago theirs wasnt online, inspector did read it in hard format saying it was nice to see one as so few settings have actually done them ! Quote
Cait Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Congrats on 'Outstanding' , SEf looks good, particularly like the 'accumulating a collection of willies for outdoor play' ! How bizarre - I made exactly the same spelling mistake in mine! Sunnyday pointed it out to me and Zebedee said I should leave it and I'd know if Ofsted read it properly! Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 well done too you and your setting on your outstanding grade your sef was great I am A Childminder and our sef are the same, I must admit I had a look at our local nurserys sef and got some tips from them, i think once you read a completed one you can then start to get your head round what is expected from you. if that makes sense. So thankyou for sharing it with us and I hope that somr other childminders can also get some tips Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Looks like we will all be busy collecting 'willies' for the outdoor area over the summer hols Many congrats on achieving an 'outstanding' and thank you for posting your sef for all to see dottyp Quote
Guest Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Would like to add my thanks for posting your SEF on this forum. I am also planning to complete mine in the summer holidays!! Like Zillertal mentioned, I think it really helps to read a completed sef inorder to be able to evaluate our own setting and get something down in writing. Well done on your outstanding result. Annabell Quote

Annabell There are many more to read on a thread called 'exemplar sef'. do a forum search for this and you'll have a lot more reading! Quote
Guest Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Well done on your outstanding grading. I will type mine up too and post. Although I was advised by my network coordinator to grade myself as outstanding, but not too sure about this. What do others think? Quote
Cait Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) Mine told me the same and I argued the case against and she listened and agreed with my point of view. Far better for someone to say 'you are much better than you think' than 'you are not as good as you think'! Edited July 2, 2009 by Cait Quote
SandieButcher Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Many thanks Rosemarie for your copy of SEF. I have a parrallel inspection next week. I have responsibility for PVI setting, a maintained nursery and reception class as well as being a member of SMT as assistant Head. Am I panicking............? aaaaaaagh Quote
sunnyday Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Hi Sandie and welcome to the forum. Good luck with the inspections! Sunnyday Quote

Gezabel Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Haven't heard anything about a new SEF but off for a hunt!! I think this link will answer your questions. On this site there are several links to other information including one to a 'draft copy' of the new SEF http://www.essexclerks.org.uk/news-article...ing-introduced- Quote
sunnyday Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 So........I'm thinking this could be just the excuse I need not to start my SEF in the summer holiday.......no, no, must do it, must do it! Sunnyday Quote
Mouseketeer Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 lol its not funny sunnyday ! ive just finished mine .............thanks for the links, though not sure i wanna look Quote
Mouseketeer Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 followed the link.......as a school governor it looks more like its for schools........my letter says dear early years manager, it is trying to sell me something so maybe its just scare tactics Quote
Guest Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 thank you so much x i can now get some idea of what to write! well done for your outstanding inspection-keep up the good work Carol Ps i will down load once i finally finish Quote
Guest Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I would justlike to congratulate you on your SEF form. Just viewing yours helps to piece the evidence I require to include in specific parts, that I was a little unsure of. Am revising policies and procedures at same time, so whilst doing them, am linking into my SEF form to add information. Quite handy Good luck in the future and thanks for helping me out in my hour of need! Leader of Playgroup Quote
