Complaints Log
by Guest- 5 replies
- 1.7k views
I know there was quite a lot of discussion about this earlier. My question is: if we're keeping this log, & OFSTED want to be less directly involved in the Complaints Procedure, then do I take down that poster that they sent not so long ago that invited parents to telephone them about their concerns, & do I remove the section in the Policy that says they can take their complaints to OFSTED? At the last Inspection [end of Feb this year] it was suggested that I put their phone number into the policy. As I'm looking at the policies at the minute, I'd like to get it right, because I seem to have to revise them with increasing frequency & it's getting a bit si…

What Do I Need To Know?

This might seem like a really obvious question but as some of you will already know, I'm really nervous about the imminent arrival of Ofsted to my pre-school. I know they are due and with the change in management just recently I know it won't be long before they are knocking on the door! So, I was wondering as to the kinds of things I need to be prepared for? My manager hasn't been too much help lately what with all the different things going on. I have been involved in inspections before but not on a mangement level. I have read through the appropriate standards (we follow the sessional standards) and am making sure that all is as it should be, but I keep readin…

Hiya Has anyone had one of the new style spot check inspections where you recieve no notice that OFSED are coming? If so, how did they go? and how valuable were your Self Evaluation Forms, did OFSTED use them alot and did they base the inspection around them. Iam half way through completing ours and just wondered if they really are the core of the new inspections like OFSTED say they are? Mandy x

Major Panic!

Our school has ofsted looming and we are pretty sure judgement day will be next half term. When this was being discussed in our last staff meeting our head was going through the new procedure. He was talking about how co-ordinators may be interviewed and he ran through our co-ordinators. We only have one reception class - the one i teach - and no 'official' FS co-ordinator. I niavely asked who the FS co-ordinator was. Our head said it was me. I understand this as i am the only FS teacher but now i am in a major panic as i have no idea what i should be doing in the role with regardsa to ofsted. Can anyone give me some tips or help out my mind at rest - i can see a Easter …

What Happens Now?

Hi. I have just filled in the new forms for managers ready to send off to Ofsted. As this is my first real dealings with them, I don't really know what happens next! Our inspection is due any time now, but with my application, will this speed things up? I know I shouldn't worry, but I can't help being a bit nervous! Clare

Hi, We just had our HMIe (Scotland) inspection, delayed from Feb because of the snow and we came out brilliantly - I am SO pleased and over the moon. I've only been there 7 months and changed a few things for what I hoped were for the better and she commended them all! Here we have 4 levels with 4 being the highest (very good) - we got 4 for everything except K&UW which was a 3 (good) because I wasn't growing anything this week One happy bunny here! Megsmum

I know there is lots of funding already but I am unable to find what I am looking for - know it has been discussed before somewhere. We have a funded child with SEN who attends our setting for four days a week - his family keyworker visits him in the home the other day. We claim for the four days but Mum has to pay the extra for the two days we run for four hours. I recently read in the new Nursery Funding COP that if a child is unable to access all its funding you can still claim for all the funding. His family keyworker says we can just do it anyway as the four hours session can just count as two sessions - I thought that there had to be a break in between? S…
