But I am not trying to use her committee DBS just the enhanced one from the primary school. What the hell is the point in the update service if we can’t use and enhanced workforce disclosure? It makes my blood boil!

A good week here, like you am feeling quite tired but am really enjoying work again, something seems to have clicked and it’s all good! Happy weekend all, hope you are all safe and well.

So sent an email to Ofsted explaining very clearly what I wanted to know. Have had this reply sent back by email. Thank you for your e-mail. Ofsted does not carry out checks on staff working at non-domestic childcare settings. It is the responsibility of the registered provider to check their staff. The full requirements are given from page 18 of the Early Years Statutory Framework. As part of their checks, staff must obtain an enhanced criminal records disclosure and staff who have not completed their security checks cannot be left unsupervised with children. So not helpful at all. The enhanced disclosure that this lady has got clearly states School governor- childcare workforce. So it’s not a volunteer one. Why can’t Ofsted just give me a definitive answer 😡

Really? Do you know where I can get absolute clarity on this? Honestly what on earth is the point of the update service if we still have to get a new one!

So a member of my committee is now starting work for us as an assistant, I know her committee DBS will not cover her but she has an enhanced DBS as a school governor and is signed to the update service. Is this sufficient to use as a staff members DBS?

Our outdoor area is a large tarmac area. Our current everyday provision outside includes, large sit in sand pit area, sand kitchen, slide, climbing A frame and ladders, hollow blocks, balance bikes and ride on toys. Our playground is completely open to the Cornish elements and has no shelter. I feel as we are spending more and more time outside that we need more activities/resources available. I am applying for a grant and am interested in finding out what you have and what works well in your provision. Please bombard me with ideas.
