hp, back in the days of the under 8's officer that's how you were inspected, but you always had the same Under 8's Officer, who knew you well, and went to the ones she felt were needing it more frequently, but all were done without notice. It was a lot better, it really weeded out the crap CM's.

Nottingham and it doesn't matter when your last inspection was either as they're pulling names out of a hat each day. You could have been inspected last week and get pulled again to be inspected tomorrow again.

hpgoneforgood, what area are you in?????

hpgoneforgood · 05/11/2008 13:49

lots of minders in my area are getting calls giving one days notice. Two inspectors are doing each inspection as well.

southernbelle77 · 05/11/2008 13:39

I really should get myself sorted out and update my policies etc. What updates do I need to make on them?!!

SammyK · 05/11/2008 13:39

Thanks shoshe, I got your booklet on my lycos email. Cantbelieve how much there is thanks so much!

I don't know if I am going to get everything done in time.

Not just me getting the call then!

Maybe we can have a support group?

Oh, and we've been out kicking through the leaves in the woods.

Firework pictures when they wake up - swirls of glue, spread with fingers, shake the glitter all over, lovely !!

[covers ears]

I'm not due for another year.

My last inspection was fine, all went well, in and out in 2 and a half hours. (still was terrifying though)

Fingers crossed for all of you

looneytune · 05/11/2008 12:53

Just posted on Facebook - I'm getting really worried now. Was going to come in and moan about my crappy H and how I feel I can't get on top of it all now and I just know that Ofsted are going to spring an inspection on me soon. When was your last one saz? Good luck! x
