[StrawberrySnowflakes]

swines..when you think of the illegal cm's out there, or those who stick mindees in front of tv all day..ill give you a blooming reference for them!

[dmo]

btw
little boy with bottle is doing well with cup but not alot of liquid going down him
he is off today had a bad fit last night poor bee so is at docs

[dmo]

report came today
not worded well so phoned Ofsted and they have asked for it in writting which i have done (when children were asleep) will post it on way to school
oh well

[S88AHG]

Thats really nice that she can be bothered to try to help you, alot of parents probably wouldnt. Lets hope it helps and gets you a higher grading good luck

[dmo]

talked to parents of child with bottle today and mum was upset for me
she works for council so is going to write a strong letter to ofsted on my behalf saying her son has a bottle because he wont use a cup and as he has fits (he has had 17 up to now, heat related) she want to get lots of liquid down him as poss
this was explained to me by her and she will say that i was just doing as she the parent wished
after all parents know best

[S88AHG]

Ah yes could be if I got parking tickets for harpenden will come back to ask you more!!!!!

[smeeinit]

oh i was sure it would be u S88AHG!
someone impersonating you!!

[dmo]

you need
policys
registar
accident book
children/parent details
food plans
fire plan
useful phone numbers (socal services etc)
first aid kit (travel one too)
certifcate of reg on disply
all other certifcates (mine are in a folder)
any Ofsted posters on disply

if you are not working yet phone them
if you are working have out
photos of children
art work that has been done
letters from parents

make sure your bathroom is free from hazards ie razors, purfume, bleach etc

make sure your kitchen (if children have excess) has cupboard locks on, medcines are high up, mop bucket is away etc

make sure outside gates are locked and the outside is sercure, shed is locked, bikes are in shed, hazzords are put away

safty gates, fire guard are in place

make sure if bedrooms are ofsteded that your makeup, purfumes, lotions are away, mirrors are attached to walls

most of all relax and enjoy the children (easy for me to say i nearly threw up yesterday) but remember if you are confident in your work let it show ofsted are only in your home for 2-3 hrs let them feel your knowledge

I drive a silver Vauxhall Zafira BTW. Can only assume maybe the plate was S888AHG maybe

[S88AHG]

I am in Colchester Essex, so couldnt have been me incase someone has ripped my number plate off!! BTW not posh a birthday present and living in Essex I guess it fits right in. I am disgusted the inspector didnt even go upstairs, I would be ringing ofsted deffo!!

Now I am really nervous for my first check! I got a call that it would be next month, as I hadn't really started quite yet (being messed about).

What should I have in place?

[smeeinit]

where are you S88AHG to tell me im right i DID see your car in harpenden today?!

[smeeinit]

thats what it was a blue sports car! its gotta be her!

[dmo]

i'm in Preston (north west)

know where she lives as she told me her garden backs onto the park i take the children to in Southport (she saw some photos)

she had a 2 seater sports car in blue( i know cause she followed me out when i has to dash to school)

now all i have to do is find her car, her house and......................

[dmo]

thanks guys
i might contest it i will see the report when it comes
just feel grotty that all my hard work has gone to waste because of a picky Ofsted inspecter

cant believe she didnt even go upstairs as every room upstairs is ofsteded

and she didnt go outside and i was out there this morning in the rain moving all the beer from christmas to the shed

smeeinit right how very very dare they

thanks strawberry would recomend you too

[smeeinit]

p.s S88AHG where do you live cos i saw a posh car with S88AHG as the number plate?!!

[smeeinit]

dmo that is out of order! ofsted really p me off sometimes (ok most of the time!)
how pathetic and picky to downgrade you because a parent wishes for her child to have juice from a bottle?!
how very very dare they!
