Wendy123 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Does anyone know if a setting can pay for an inspection ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveryoung Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 From what I can think which isn't much first day back and all that ha ha ha ! I believe yes you can but there are other companies that offer it I think for a few hundred pounds if you want to test the water first but then again all of it todapends on which inspector you get from Ofsted ? plus Ofsted change the goal posts that much I could be talking from what I knew last spring which might not be same now x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 No, they are not yet available- and unlikely to be so before the election. However, the suggested fee of around £2500 for a nursery setting is not going to make them widely accessible I shouldn't think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel10 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 There are ofsted inspectors that offer consultantancy work. At least they do in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lashes2508 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I had a visit from Ofsted yesterday but the only thing I could offer to her to inspect was the cleanliness of the tables I was steam cleaning! Fortunately we were still closed , have to say very nice , had a great chat and hopefully have her back again for the real inspection. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sn0wdr0p Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well at least you know that your inspection is imminent now. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yes true snowdrop but we are still recruiting ! So she was understanding and is hoping to delay until end of month ! lashes - I can't work out whether I am envious that you (sort of) know they are coming soon or not :blink: but anyway GOOD LUCK - hope that you get the same inspector (she sounds very 'nice') and that all goes well for you! :1b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lashes2508 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I must say Sunnyday , I am glad she turned up and that I was there even though we were closed, as our last inspection was ' requires improvement ' because of staff recruiting issues, after having long talk with Ofsted in September , we have been actively trying to recruit , with no avail. She was really nice , talked and told me what to expect and I also found out the last inspector who I was not confident with and was being regulated is no longer an inspector. This lady was pleasant , informative and singing from the same hymn sheet although I was advised to get my SEF done ASAP ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy123 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 You can pay for an inspextion came into force last year but Ofsted havent sorted out the process or the charging policy and if it £2500 I dont thhink that woud be fair for a small setting like mine as we dont have that kind of money spare . Good luck everyone : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
