Susan Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Got the phone call today, considerably earlier than expected on a 3 yr cycle! Trying to stay focused and calm now. Hope everyone else has got on ok this week.

HappyMaz Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Good luck Susan - but I must say I'm alarmed by the words "considerably earlier than expected on a 3 yr cycle". Don't send them in my direction, will you? Maz
Shiny Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Sending positive vibes to you!!! How early in your 3 year cycle??!! (BIG GULP)
Upsy Daisy Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Good luck Susan. Just think how nice it will be when it's over.
emmajess Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Good luck from me too! Do you have any idea why they're coming early - any logic behind it, or just (bad) luck?
Gezabel Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Good luck I am sure you will be fine I am intrigued by the talk of 3 year cycle. I was led to believe that when EYFS came into force in September 2008 OFSTED started a 'new regime' of inspections and 'everyone had to be done'. I was told from a few different sources that the date of our last inspection was irrelevant and to expect them anytime. This was confirmed by a preschool I know personally who got outstanding in March 2008 and got the knock on the door in November 2008 and I have heard from others. Likewise I know of people I know several who were last inspected in early 2006 and are still waiting. I just concluded that there is no ryhme or reason to who they inspect when and we should just expect them when we see them!
Guest Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Good luck! Seems like they are out in force at the moment as there are so many posts popping up. Hope everyone is doing ok

eyfs1966 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 best wishes and fingers crossed. Will look forward to hearing all about it.....hopefully you will post back on hot topics etc, as well as how you do Just think, at least you will really be able to enjoy Xmas
JacquieL Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 Best of luck Susan. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you with heartfelt sympathy. Just in case there is any confusion Susan is in a school setting.
Guest Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Good luck for your inspection!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the 3 year cycle........ I think everyone will be done regardless of the date of their last inspection due to the implementation of the EYFS. Nursery was Ofsted'd in May 2008 (half is private) We were done again in February 2009 when the rest of the school was done. Only 8 months later!!!
