thumperrabbit Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 My committee only last 1 year so I'm not sure who I will put for us either! 1 Quote
lynned55 Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Well my committee all go in July so if I cannot be the nominated person not sure who will be then. I had an Ofsted last week and she didnt say I couldnt be. However she did say something, that although I picked up on, just couldnt be bothered to correct or start going into further. She was asking about committee members and said "So, besides yourself & X&Y is there any other committee member, we need to know about" Well I am Manager, have been the nominated person since forever and have never been a committee member. But just couldnt be bothered to correct her about the committee bit Quote
thumperrabbit Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 There does seem to be a definite shift in Ofsted being more interested in committees all of a sudden - it feels like another agenda to get rid? Or am I on such a downer at the mo?! Quote
lsp Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Maybe they are trying to make settings realise that if there are problems, incidents etc it is the committee members that are legally responsible rather than automatically the manager - unless you are a committee member? Quote
thumperrabbit Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Unfortunately yes I have to be as not enough parents! In fact I have another member of staff on committee as we only have 2 parents! Quote
narnia Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I had a phone call this morning......in the middle of our christmas party..................from Ofsted, asking WHY I hadn't responded to their email. I said I hadn't had one and whilst he was on the phone, I looked at my emails. It wasn't in the settings mailbox, so he said he would re-send it..and quoted my personal email address, which he said it should have been sent to as the nominated person. It wasn't there either, so he sent another whilst i was on the phone...............and he said it MUST be filled in withing 5 days. Happy Christmas!! Quote
Panders Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 I had the phone call as well Narnia, only it went to voicemail and he said not to call back, why hadn't I completed the registration der because I haven't received it!!! They will call me again he said! Quote
bubblejack Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Yes I had an answerphone message about this I think. I could not understand the persons accent. Quote
Panders Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Yes I had an answerphone message about this I think. I could not understand the persons accent. snap! In fact, I might even have thought it was a practical joker if we hadn't had this thread running. Quote
tish501 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 OMG...my day off....hour journey to see my Grandson as a king in his Nativity......got there at 10 concert at 10.30....then get a call from Nursery ... Ofsted on the phone...an emergency! where is the registered person ? need their mobile....not given....well then please email your registration number and name to us asap !!!! Which my daughter did from the school before the concert....have heard nothing since and getting worried now since a few of u have had the same today .... Quote
thumperrabbit Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I had the call as I'd requested the excel version the man was quite abrupt and was asking all kinds of 'security' questions that in my mind I kept thinking 'what if it isn't Ofsted' ...... I don't think they've gone about this in the right way at all! Quote
narnia Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 So, I'm just wondering what this has to do with Ofsted?? Quote
Panders Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I suppose they may have "contracted" out this work to an outside company as they don't have the staff to do it. Thought I would "google" the telephone number used by the Ofsted person calling me yesterday. It derives from Newport. but upon googling it is attributed to a company for Gas Engineers in Newport, so maybe the number has be re-assigned at some point. Edited December 18, 2015 by Panders Quote
Mouseketeer Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I've received a reminder email today, telling me I have 5 days to return :-( Quote
mrsbat Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Just got the email! All filled in and returned within an hour of receiving it lol Quote
Fredbear Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I have just received it too, but cannot open it on an iPad, any suggestions would be gratefully received. 1 Quote
Rafa Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I have just received it too, but cannot open it on an iPad, any suggestions would be gratefully received. This made me chuckle. I am only 'ipad friendly' I do not 'do' technology unless it just opens at the tap of a finger or a swipe < > I had to pull out of a dark cupboard, a rather old slow laptop, re-open my gmail account, access email from O then spent far too long downloading, completing, saving or saving as ( I dont know!!! ) and then - a first for me - ATTACHED it and pressed send!!! had email from O today and surprise surprise they got it!!! Simples!! Note to O: do NOT do this to me again - pleeaase!! Quote
Fredbear Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Ha ha thanks Rafa, laptop it is then. Quote

SueJ Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) I have watched this thread with interest and not posted in the hope of keeping below the radar - no hope there - got a call on Friday asking why I hadn't returned mine - I told them I hadn't received it so they sent it again - my personal email doesn't port it across from the provider's server so it must go into spam - sadly the works email (which Ofsted already has!!) doesn't discriminate quite so rigourously so it arrived yesterday. Now I just have to fill the blinking thing in. As Ofsted aleady have all these details it rather smacks to me that they have either lost/corrupted their database!! Or worse still they are looking to forward the info to HMRC so that they can check out whether we are dodging huge tax bills as we earn sooooooooooo much ;-) Edited December 19, 2015 by SueJ 1 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Best leave the Jag at home in case they come calling Sue 2 Quote
thumperrabbit Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Just finished mine and returned it - theres a couple of hours I'll never get back, I've got Christmassy things to do still :angry: I agree they already have all this information as its what you would put on your EY2 & EY3 forms - but as we all know even though we complete them they never update their system! Perhaps they are updating their info for once?! Quote
Mouseketeer Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Did you fill in those details about all the CM's ? Quote

thumperrabbit Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Did you fill in those details about all the CM's ? Yes all 4 of us - me, plus another staff member, 1 parent & my hubby! I do have another parent who has started her DBS journey (and what a journey it is!) and sat deliberating whether to put her on the list or not as the 'journey' hasn't ended yet - in the end I decided against it! 2 Quote
Mouseketeer Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 I don't know all their dates of birth ...why can't they just check their ey2's if we just put the names. Did anyone save it, if yes can you tell me in what format to open it again. I'm sure ofsted know there's no chance of us having time to do this in our working lives, so not only do they ensure we have plenty to keep us busy during the summer holiday they screw up the Christmas one to gggrrrrrr 3 Quote
lsp Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 I received through the post. I have problems opening documents on computer as I have an old version of microsoft office. I didn't even ask them to send me the other format. I did it on word and emailed it to them. I literally had a column with the question number and then typed the information in the second column. Left it to them to decipher! I had an automatic email to confirm receipt. Quote
