finleysmaid Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Mine opened but apart from a 2nd persons details they know everything else anyway....but haven't bothered :-/ You are quite right....they know all of this info. Unless they've had an issue with their computers why are they asking us?????? 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 You are quite right....they know all of this info. Unless they've had an issue with their computers why are they asking us?????? Absolutely - that is one of the reasons that I thought the email might not have been genuine when I received it...... I have had to ring Ofsted today (completely unrelated matter) and notice that they have added queries re this to their options 'menu'........ S'pose I need to request that they send me another one as i 'accidentally' deleted the first 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 So........I have asked them for another form and was completely upfront about why I needed it. I would have expected existing details to be pre-populated then i wouldn't have doubted it was genuine........ 1 Quote
LKeyteach Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I too am feeling left out. why send to some and not to others? I feel a conspiracy here. Quote
sunnyday Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 I too am feeling left out. why send to some and not to others? I feel a conspiracy here. You can have mine - oh actually you can't cos i deleted it! Quote
sunnyday Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 My replacement form has arrived :blink: so not at all sure that I can see any value in adding staff to this - I am the owner/manager of my setting and obviously as such I am the registered person....... Wondering what others have decided - am I missing some benefit here? Quote
MarshaD Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I haven't had one either. If I had I wouldn't have suspected anything anyway. Obviously too trusting. Quote

Wondering what others have decided - am I missing some benefit here? I have decided to do nothing, all my log ins that will be needed to run the group are in my 'if I die hand this to the chairperson at the time and ONLY the Chairperson' along with the key to the filing cabinet where all confidential information is locked :-D 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 I have completed the flippin' thing - what a waste of my time - and they know nothing more than they did before :blink: Quote
Littlesparklesnursery Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 What'd the email about? Feeling left out? Quote
sunnyday Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 What'd the email about? Feeling left out See original post :1b no need to feel left out - I'm sure you will get one soon enough! Quote
Guest Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I've had a letter as Ofsted say they don't have an email address for our setting - funny that they managed to send our inspection report out by email then! Interestingly, they only want replies via email, so I have emailed and asked them to send me an on-line version. The automatic response to my email request says "If you have sent a query regarding the registration details form, we will endeavour to respond to your query as soon as possible. We understand that any delay to us responding to your query may result in a delay to us receiving your completed form." So much for the 2 week response time! Quote
lsp Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I had that letter today as well and thought exactly the same thing! 1 Quote

Guest Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 They actually replied to my email request today! Quote
lynned55 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 What numptys they are. I have had exactly the same (as apparently they dont know our email) despite the fact other things have been emailed to us. Quote
eyfs1966 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I've still had no email or letter....anyone else still waiting? Quote
Guest Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 So....Ofsted have sent me a totally blank questionnaire, but it's password protected so I can't complete it and have had to email asking for the password! Quote
sunnyday Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 So....Ofsted have sent me a totally blank questionnaire, but it's password protected so I can't complete it and have had to email asking for the password! How bizarre - mine wasn't password protected :blink: Quote
Greenfinch Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 I have not had an email but just had a letter this morning. Took one look at it and have put it back in the envelope for now! 2 Quote
JJA Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 I have not had an email but just had a letter this morning. Took one look at it and have put it back in the envelope for now! Hahaha! I did EXACTLY the same! And now it sits in my in-tray mocking me! 3 Quote
MarshaD Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I got my letter this week. Like others said they had no email address for the setting. Will tackle tomorrow... Quote
Littlesparklesnursery Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Got post this week again they didn't have our email - strange as they emailed our inspection report 2 months ago Quote
sunnyday Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Got post this week again they didn't have our email - strange as they emailed our inspection report 2 months ago Madness! Quote
lsp Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 How are you responding? I received a letter through the post. It says that we can't use handwritten answers? Will probably type answers and attach it to an email???? Seems a bit strange - or is it just me?? Quote
eyfs1966 Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I had to speak to Ofsted this week about another matter and asked why I had not received email or letter. They said as I am not a group provider it didn't apply to me. That said, they also led me round and round in circles about the matter I was initially querying, so I'm not sure that I trust anything they say!! Took 4 calls to 4 different ofsted persons before I managed to sort the issue myself. Quote
JPB Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I'm glad I have seen this thread as it has saved a phone call to OFSTED. I opened the email but have not replied as I didn't think it was genuine. I'm very suspicious of randon emails purporting to be from organisations and would not have completed it without checking it's authenticity. I haven't a clue how it relates to the finance legislation mentioned - I haven't had requests from other organisations for information! 3 Quote
