My CM is due Ofsted very soon. On her last inspection 4 years ago she got a satisfactory, which I am absolutely fine with. Her care is good, my DS loves her, she's just not very hot on the paperwork and EYFS stuff.
I'm a secondary teacher and for us, Ofsted has got a lot tougher, satisfactory has been scrapped and replaced with 'requires improvement' with schools being closed and turned into academies if they don't improve.
Is this the same for childminders? What will happen when they inspect her and find her not to be good? She has said before that she would rather quit childminding than be turned into a box-ticker by Ofsted so I'm a bit worried!
