Had OFSTED Inspection today......

[childmindermk]

and we are very,very pleased to say we got OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are so happy that we just wanted to shout it from the rooftops!

We thought we would share it with everyone on MN too!

Woohooo!! Well done

Thank you so much!

I must say also that we had a very lovely inspector and thoroughly enjoyed the whole inspection! (and thats something we thought we would never say, as we didnt think it was possible!)

well done !!

Congratulations! Well deserved I'm sure. Hope you'll be celebrating tonight.

thanks everyone...we still cant quite believe it! feels a bit surreal at the moment but its nice to tell everyone even though officially we are meant to wait til its been approved which apparently can take up to 5 weeks!...but the inspector said she couldnt see a problem with us telling people so to go ahead!

still cant belive we actually had a pleasant, relaxed inspection! instead of a nervous, worried, stressed inspection!

Congratulations - you must be pleased/relieved

Shout as long & loud as you like

Congratulations, what an achievement!

good work I bet you're chuffed to bits!!

Thanks...yes we are chuffed to bits, and will be telling everyone we meet...whether they want to know or not!

Cant believe it, as we didnt think we knew what we were doing regarding the EYFS coming in!
Apparantly we are very well organised, need to shorten obs a bit and were complimented on our risk assessments!
The inspector also said that she would have loved,as a parent, to have received a development file like ours for her children! What a compliment!

She also said that the children are progressing brilliantly, and get to experience a very varied amount of activities both on and off the premises!

It was nice to know that we are coping with the paperwork side of things, but its even nicer to be complimented on pregression of the children we care for!

Has anyone else had such an enjoyable, lovely, calm and relaxed inspection???

that's brilliant, childmindermk.

No, my inspection was not calm and relaxed. Inspector said she could see things were "a bit fraught"!!! Next time I will palm my 5 yr DS off on someone while i am being inspected!
