Because you don't - it's on the report

smeeinit · 06/11/2006 19:41

you havent had your graded inspection yet strawb, you will be inspected and graded around 6 months after being first regsistered so yours will be in or around may next year!

StrawberryMoon · 08/11/2006 16:07

ah!.thought that might be it..will it say anything on my report when its on ofsteds site?..when will that normally be?

when youve had your graded inspection you will get your report about 2 weeks later(although my sis just got hers in less than a week) and i think my report was on ofsted website about a month after inspection. does that answer your question?!

StrawberryMoon · 08/11/2006 19:14

yes thanks..so will 'i' get report this time or not, is it just subsequent checks that they 'report' on?

smeeinit · 08/11/2006 19:21

no you wont get a report this time m8. just your subsequent ones.

Sorry to butt in but I have been minding for 11 years and am always full and have only ever paid tax twice in that time. If you do your accounts properly you should very rarely need to pay any tax. Do you have a tax advisor for childminders at your tax office? if you do ask them for advice ours is brilliant, she will even come out to your hose to talk to you and make sure evrything is ok. Also if your looking for a cheap double to replace your broken one my friend has one a maclaren going for £40.

StrawberryMoon · 09/11/2006 15:35

where is she? and is it the very slim/narrow type?..dont think i could manage anything bigger

we do have a busines adviser from surestart and he know the ins and outs of everything, so will ask hi9m in couple of weeks!

She is in Stockport but could courier. Whereabouts are you as I travel around quite a bit so may be in your area soon. It fits through doorways so is pretty slim and comes with a raincover.

StrawberryMoon · 10/11/2006 10:47

sounds just what i need!..im in middlesbrough tho?..how much is she asking for for it??

OP posts:
babydales · 10/11/2006 11:05

she would like £40 but you would need to arrange the courier from your end just need to tell her when they will pick it up.
