Hi there, I am a CC teacher and some of the childminders I have been working with have recently been bringing lots of different published resource books- i.e. photocopiable blank planning formats- to our meetings and asking me which is the best one to buy. I feel that the best one is a format that works for you and is meaningful and manageable, but some CM's seem to want me to tell them to buy one or the other. Do any CM's out there have a planning version that has been recommended to them or is popular by consensus? I'd be really grateful if you could let me know. The majority of my CM's are going with my suggested format, but there are just one or two who I think wou…

Hi been trying to complete sef for a few months now and I feel like I'm losing the plot. Have filled in some parts and feel like I will never finish. Now having recently gone on there seems to be so much more to fill in is this right. The leadership and management section seems to have extended into about another 5 sections and there other bits on there that weren't there before. Is anynone else struggling as I just feel there is far to much to do and I wonder how I am ever going to finish!

I am over the moon We got outstanding in all areas I would like to say a BIG thank you to this forum to all who have posted,shown their work, or shared their knowledge Tips, Mrs O said it was better for them to read sef in their own time from the internet, then be given it on the day of the Ofsted visit and have limited time to read. I took some ones tip from the forum of having a child that had lefts for school profile, which was full, rather then have many just started with no evidence of what we really do in a year She said she liked the size of the photos of visits out ( A4 )which were on the walls at child level I have already been for large bo…

Following my previous post on this I came up with something and I thought it might be useful to others. It's basically I suppose an edited action plan which has come about after completing our SEF. That way we can keep an eye on what needs doing without trawling through 40 odd pages of the SEF. I'm going to circulate this to the relevant people with the things they need to do highlighted.

On Site Preschool Inspections Reflecting On Schools
by Guest Spiral- 6 replies

Hi there, I had a conversation with a colleague in a school last week - she said they were concerned that they have a preschool on their site which isn't doing very well (lots of staff changes and issues). The school's head teacher is concerned that there is a new Ofsted guide which does state that if a setting on thier site is inspected and it is deemed as satisfactory or even unsatisfactory, the school can be held responsible somehow? I can't remember what the document was called - something like 'Inspecting the EYFS'. Does anyone have any ideas on what this is called/what the implications are? Do we need to consider writing disclaimers etc?? He…

Hi Really hoping someone can shed some light on this. I am a private pre-school within a local primary school, I rent a classroom and outdoor space and have my own entrance/car park etc. The Headteacher approached me this morning and said that her SIP? had advised her that she should have more of an interest in the Pre-School as we will be included in the school Ofsted inspection! Now as we are a new setting I know we are due within the next couple of months a visit from Ofsted, however the school had their Ofsted in about April of this year!! Surely I wont be having two inspections and as I am a private provider and registered individually from the school it would …
