THEY STILL HAVENT BEEN

[janet]

WELL GOT THE PHONE CALL LEFT ON MY ANSWER MACHINE A WEEK AGO TODAY BUT THEY STILL HAVENT BEEN I JUST WANT TO GET IT OVER AND DONE WITH NOW XX

[Pauline]

It's horrible having to wait, did they give you an idea of when they would come?

[janet]

NO JUST SAID RING BACK TO SAY HOW MANY CHILDREN I AM MINDING AND WHAT HOURS. SO I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD TURN UP LAST WEEK XX

[banana]

Dont they have to tell you a choice of days so that you can be in?? surely you cant just be expected to wait?? Did they call to arrange a visit or just to ask how many children you have on roll as this is different?

Like Lana says they can not expect you to wait in and I would not !!!
If you are out you are out
They are supposed to give you a choice of days

yes it was to ask how many children and what days i am minding, so should i expect another call ? i havent been waiting in just carried on as normal but i thought it was a bit off if they were waiting outside when i got back. xx

[Pauline]

I think they will give you another call to give a selection of days they 'might' come on. They don't usually arrive unannounced unless you have had a complaint against you.

[banana]

Yes Janet

Poor you!! Wish you had said earlier!! I thought you meant they had called to say they were coming.

You get a call to find out how many children you have on roll and when you mind them etc... then once they info has been passed along then your ofsted inspector will call you directly to arrange a visit with you ( it was roughly a week and a half between calls for me ).

They will more than likely give you 3 days which they may come on.

So you should be expecting your phone call soon - I hope

I had a phone call from ofsted about 2 months ago asking if i,m still childminding and how many children i mind.

At that time i only had my 2 grandchildren but i told them i had more starting after easter. They don't count looking after related children any more (they did 3 years ago)

Iam due for an inspection this year my 3 years are up i wonder if this means i will be getting a phone call soon.

I wrote to them today to confirm my conservatory is up and runnning as a playroom.
