thumperrabbit Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Yes our inspector called herself "old school" and said that she "championed" pre-school playgroup settings over any other - it really does help. I've seen some reports where it is obvious the inspector doesn't understand PVI 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Yes our inspector called herself "old school" and said that she "championed" pre-school playgroup settings over any other - it really does help. Wow! Nice to feel 'recognised' and not like the 'poor cousin' :1b 3 Quote
lsp Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Congratualtions to both of you!! Interesting though that one setting was told that they could share the result and one has to wait. Nice to see the consistency in Osted inspections <_< We were told that we had to wait for the written report to arrive?? Quote
Devondaisy Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 I was told the report would be emailed in about 2 weeks....they don't send out printed copies any more! Quote

Melba Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 We were told report would be emailed as well but I think it was the last time as well. Inspector said it had only just changed a week or so ago to let us tell the result immediately. So maybe some inspectors are just playing it safe still. Quote
lsp Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Sorry I meant emailed - old age creeping in again :wacko: Quote
Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Congratulations both of you :-) fantastic news! Enjoy the rest of the summer term! Wish we could get ours out of the way before the summer we have been waiting since 2007 and everyone seems to be getting more and more stressed about i the longer it's been! X Quote
zigzag Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Well done to you all. We were done at the end of last year after a wait of five years, the relief was indescribable!! Quote

Devondaisy Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 She told me they are playing catch up now so hopefully you will be visited soon Littlemissgiggles. Our previous inspection was 2008 so I know how you feel. Quote
chez29 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Ofsted came to us on Friday as well which I was surprised as it was half term. Quote
Guest Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Ofsted came to us just before Easter but we was holding our Easter hunt, so they could only look at the paperwork side. They said they would return after Easter. They came on 19th April and was with us for the day. She was a very nice lady. All I can say at the moment is We are over the moon with our result. We all have big smiles on our faces. Quote
hali Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 We still have a setting who hasnt been inspected since 2008 Quote
Greenfinch Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 How many settings have been inspected in the holidays? We open all year but now in the holidays our numbers are so low - often just 4 children (and I've even closed some days) and tend to go on local trips etc but I certainly wouldn't feel our whole setting could be seen properly in terms of an inspection and our funded children are not in etc.Or hardly any of the staff/children. Is anyone else in this position?Can we ask Ofsted to come twice? Also,has anyone had Ofsted turn up on photo day? Can you sense my stress? Quote
Guest Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 We still have a setting who hasnt been inspected since 2008 We went from 2008 to last week before we had an inspection, in 2008 we got an outstanding. My grandson preschool had these in 2007 and was only redone about 2 months ago, there one in 2008 was satisfactory and this time they got good. I'm surprised they was left so long with a satisfactory. Quote

I was always told if you had an Outstaing they tell you not to say as they have to get it authorised ;-) I've just had my call (last on Nov 2008) currently dreading every moment, should be here Thursday xx Quote
Berryred Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 After a very long wait Ofsted finally arrived yesterday! I was starting to think they had forgotten about us! We had a really lovely inspector who was very complimentary about everything we do, it was a really enjoyable experience with none of the nerves I expected. The staff were all amazing and the children were too! Not allowed to divulge the result but suffice to say our smiles could not possibly be any bigger!!! It still seems a little unreal Sorry, forgot to say well done xx Quote
