Ofsted -does the right hand know what the left is doing!

I got my re registration fee letter for the year and it says if you are resigning as a childminder ring this number and we will send you a form to complete. So today i rang and they said what form! No you dont need it just send aletter to your local ofsted and they will deal with it.So i repeated what was said on the letter and they said no it isnt done like that. So i rang my local ofsted and they said oh you need a form you have to ring this number!I honestly laughed out loud and told him they said no in the end he accepted it verbally but told me to write them a short note to them to same effect.Its no wonder its all going down the pan!

LOL - aren't they crap sometimes!!

I suggest that you write several letters, address them to as many different departments at OFSTED as you can think of, and then send them intermittently over the next couple of years.
