Smiles Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 This morning we had the dreaded doorbell ring and the Ofsted lady arrived- coming back tomorrow. I have been in the throws of updating everything including the Operational plan etc. Have got through today and now have to see what other evidence I can come up with to show her tomorrow. Advice she gave me about OP was keep it simple- forget the Outcomes Inspectors know which Standards fit these . Suggested I just collated my evidence by the 14 Standards no more. Planning- kep this as simple as possible and workable. Oh well - will let you know the outcome later. Help - can't seem to find my reciepe for playdough can anyone help. I use cooking oil/flour and cream of tartarebut cant remember the measures? Sue
Guest Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 Good luck Smiles, sounds like you have an Inspector who has good common sense Recipe: 2 cups plain flour 1 cup salt 2 tablespoons oil 1 teaspoon cream or tartar 2 cups of water let us know how you get on. Peggy
Smiles Posted February 22, 2006 Author Posted February 22, 2006 Thanks every so much Peggy - in a flap because playdough is on my planning for tomorrow. Inspector was looking forward to that!!! Will let you know how I fare - was surprised it was only one and its a combined inspection - not sure of the correct term nowadays. Sue
