Thats a bit weird ! Think i might be tempted to give Ofsted a call just to doulble check it was them , cos you never know do you . Very strange.

[tasha]

Definately call..probably them, but always best to be ion the safe side!

i'm going too it was weird, do they give you any idea of when they might come??
some of the girls on the icp course said that they ask when you likely to be in
2 other have had the same call as me in the same way
omg....

That's quite dodgy actually isn't it? Could be anyone calling to find out info about your setting/children.

Do you think we should always offer to ring Ofsted back when they call as how do you know it's not some sick person finding out info for themselves?

Never thought of it before.

Do 1471 - the OFSTED number isn't withheld.

good thinking bat man!! it is ofsteds number!!!! so what happens now then, this is my first inspection after gettin registered, so will they inform me that they are comming or a round about time

common girls and guys i neeeed your help

[deeb66]

This is just a routine call.

Your name and details will now be passed to one of your local inspectors as part of her/his 'Active' list and she/he should contact you fairly soon (usually within the next month or two)with a view to come and do your inspection.

So don't worry - they shouldn't just appear on your doorstep without speaking to you first.

Hope this helps
