Nanny employers, how do you feel about Ofted inspecting your nanny in your home?

Following on from the below linked threads, I am shocked and appalled at this level of inspection invasion. My nanny is not Ofsted registered. But if she was, I would tell Ofsted to meddle elsewhere.

Ofsted nanny inspection - what do I need?

Ofsted comming tomorrow for a chat,

It was mentioned by nannynick in a previous post that if you refuse they may start legal proceedings to deregister you. And I know of more than one nany employer who can only afford their nanny because of the voucher scheme. Therefore if you were deregistered they would have to find someone else, surely?!

The whole thing is rediculous, MrA, so I have a hard time accepting that Ofsted wouldn't do anything that was rediculous.

Yes it would be ridiculous, that's why it wouldn't happen. Where did you get that idea?

I believe if your employers decline, you can be deregistered by ofsted. For some families this would mean they can no longer afford you, so you lose your job. Ridiculous!
