lashes2508 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Or should I say my premonition - Ofsted came today and we got GOOD - hoorah , can't believe the weight that has lifted off my shoulders , inspector was amazing , so professional yet personable, gave constructive feedback and even met my area senco . When the inspector turned up I was in a meeting with her and actually went and told the inspector I was busy and would she mind if I continued my meeting due to it's importance , she happily obliged and then spoke to her after. Cheers fellow forum friends - feeling happy and enjoying a large glass of Fleurie x 12 Quote

Thanks for all your comments , mmm Danny Dyer in drag ? Haha Well done to you and your team. Regarding your comments about 10am arrival, what time do your children arrive? I always thought if ofsted aren't here when the children arrive, they won't be coming that day. Am I wrong? Joanne Quote

louby loo Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Well done :1b :1b .... But 10am!!! - I've always been under the assumption that if they are not there by the time we open then the day we be an Ofsted free one :blink: We're waiting Quote

lashes2508 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Well done :1b :1b .... But 10am!!! - I've always been under the assumption that if they are not there by the time we open then the day we be an Ofsted free one :blink: We're waiting That was always my understanding , I even asked staff if they saw anyone on arrival but she arrived just after a fire drill and senco . Children arrive at 9 but she stayed for 5 hours , it was an all day session for us so she still got to speak to parents at lunch time . I suppose it depends on the day Quote
lashes2508 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks everyone , still can't stop smiling 1 Quote
Fredbear Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Out of interest had you managed to sort your staffing issues. Was this picked up on? Edited February 3, 2015 by Fredbear 1 Quote
Guest sn0wdr0p Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Gosh, you played it cool. I would have panicked, cancelled my meeting and stalked the inspector round the setting. Well done you. Quote
sunnyday Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I have to be 'out' of my setting this Thursday...........I am never out except for training and I always make clear that my deputy should ring me if Ofsted turn up and I would be straight back....... I won't be able to get back on this occasion - have been coaching my staff like mad.......just in case 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Oh you can bet your life ........... Hehe I know - that's what I'm thinking Quote
Rafa Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Well done :1b :1b .... But 10am!!! - I've always been under the assumption that if they are not there by the time we open then the day we be an Ofsted free one :blink: We're waiting Me too! So does that mean I have to hold my breathe ALL morning?!?! Arghhhh..... Well done Lashes. : ) Quote
louby loo Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Me too! So does that mean I have to hold my breathe ALL morning?!?! Arghhhh..... Well done Lashes. : ) I might amend my SEF to say we are only open mornings!!!! :-) :-) :-) That might ensure an early visit!!! Xxx 1 Quote
