We were re-registered in Feb as a 'new' setting so technically up to 30 mths before visit- but as we are actually 'old' and would have been due one early next year, I think we may get inspected sooner rather than later. Thank you louby - we are all very chuffed! Not really sure about tips - make sure that all staff know the important stuff i.e. safeguarding and then just be positive and proactive which I'm sure you would be anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Did they focus particularly on how you analyse the data you get from tracking/progress charts. I had an LA visit this week and it was made clear that they expect it to be broken down into groups, then broken down again and again! I knew it was an area that I was not looking at quite closely enough but felt a bit demoralised by it to be honest. Something that I intend to get to grips with during the summer, ready for a September. Just wondered if Ofsted are looking closely for this?

Morning zigzag - thank goodness she didn't concentrate too hard on that aspect as I am not so hot on that either that said she has commented that I follow advice from other professionals so that would be LA visits...….. We talked about how I use the info from the children's progress updates and I could show how that feeds into planning Will pm you later when I fire up the laptop!

Hi Zigzag, I have this worry too Luckily for me two of my staff went on training this week and have come back with an excel spreadsheet which apparently does all sorts of wonderful things. I've not looked at it- but will check in a day or so and see if it's on the LA website. It's on my summer TDL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Zigzag I was Ofsted about a month ago, yes she did ask and question my analytical powers! She was happy with the Kent Tracker I used, but of course this has now been up-dated and we are being charged for it! The old one was relatively easy to use and yes it does a lot of the work for you but putting the information in if you have a lot of children is a bit of a mission. Printing info off was ok but lots of colours so a bit of a hit with the ink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playgroup1 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Congratulations Sunnyday. We were judged Outstanding too in April and it really gives you a lift to get the acknowledgement. Although when parents say "We always knew you were outstanding", I sometimes feel like showing them the Judgement Criteria so they can see its not as easy as all that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 .............................. and breath...... (sorry for all you full year'ers) I need a few days break......... then I'm hoping sunnyday will inspire me to create a TDL. It's been a fantastic year for us, as this time last year we thought we would have to close. Our parents have been wonderfully supportive, and we've done 'ok' financially - even though the previous owner still owes us almost £4k........ 1st thing that needs to be on my list is the small claims court then I suppose Happy Hols everyone, and I hope the full day-care have a quieter and stress free summer too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 We don’t break up until Tuesday, with sports day and leavers presentation on Monday. Only problem is everyone is dropping with D and V! Happy holidays to everyone who breaks up to day. Look forward to comparing TDL! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
