Guest Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 on closer inspection (no pun intended!) it seems to be tagged to 'creche' type facilities in leisure centre type accommodation...but the inspectors I recognise complete daycare inspections. Guess I should visit the website... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 YIP, it would appear they have!! Does anyone else not get informed of these things??? when the shoes on the other foot we get hauled over the coals lol Gently stepping down off the soap box for fear of slipping!

AnonyMouse_8466 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Maybe we should all go and inspect their new premises to make sure they're suitable? Hope they've fully risk assessed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_12960 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 At our last but one inspection I was hauled over the coals as our complaints procedure had the wrong address for Ofsted. Again, Ofsted had never told us of the change, as indeed they haven't this time, so thanks Gingerbread man, I am off to update my complaints policy straight away. It really is incredible they they don't notify all providers of changes of contact details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/Ofsted-home/About-us/Contact-us Yes here it is! Hope they have their mail forwarded! Have just noticed they have not yet updated their poster for parents. have emailed them to ask when they intented to update it! Off to check my policies. Thanks Ginger Edited June 12, 2011 by marley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_13453 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Well done for spotting that - we didn't ever get notified of a change of number - we changed their poster ourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_390 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Thanks for that - best get off here and start checking all the paperwork....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14766 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi Gingerbread Man, Thanks for this. It is so frustrating how Ofsted do these things to us. As they are overdue to come and "visit" us I hope they're not waiting for me in the morning just to check if they've caught me out!!! Actually, I feel a visit to work this afternoon coming on! Sharky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 bless you all...you've made me feel loads better by knowing i'm not the only one to be the last to know!! Marley you are so brave, approaching them directly!! I have an issue with their parents poster too...that they basically invite parents to overlook our complaints procedure i.e approach us first and go direct to them. grrr! Cait - we didn't get notified either - found out on the good old forum - maybe this site should have a link on theirs lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I am just updating our Policies and Procedures and noticed this. When did it happen???? So much to keep updated with, you really would think that they would let us know these things! Ah well another great reason to log on regularly to this fantastic forum. Thanks all Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spiral Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I quite like HappyMaz' idea of performing an inspection upon them - that'd be a great topic! :wacko: :rolleyes: Spiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd REALLY like to give my judgement on their effectiveness of partnerships, their engagement with parents and carers and MOST IMPORTANTLY their capacity to maintain continuous improvement!

Guest Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Hi Got my reply from OFSTED! Thank you for your e-mail. In response to your enquiry the Parents Poster will be updated in due course but in the meantime the mail is being forwarded from our old address to the new address and will continue to be forwarded for a further two years. I hope you find this information helpful. Going to have to put sticky label on then (especially as OFSTED coming next week for suitable person interview!!) Mind you i keep having to check that they have all the right info for the committee. Letter gone to old chair. I have just called and said sent EY3 telling them chaange in committee and change to nominated personold chair still on committee but doesnt want to be nominated anymore)....they checked it......oh yes!!! They,ve now changed it! Just what is the point eh? Edited June 13, 2011 by marley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Has anyone been given two years grace to change anything on a document placed before an inspector? I wonder what is happening about the email service many of us signed up for, I have never received one update in the last six years. What is going on? Oh the government cuts didn't go far enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the government cuts didn't go far enough :( ditto about the emails Marley...I'd be tempted to say don't bother with the sticky labels - although it shows you keep up to date it sounds as if the mail will eventually reach them - but at what cost from our taxes?? poor post people! Don't suppose they said when the change occurred? How much will the re-branding cost - are they donating their unused, old addressed stationary to settings for the mark making areas?

AnonyMouse_26197 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hi Cait This Poster has been uploaded for over 2 years now. I think it is the longest running parent poster ever! They used to change them every 6 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_35585 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've just recieved my registration certificate from OFSTED and a parents poster was included with this address on: The National Business Unit Ofsted The Royal Exchange Buildings St Anne's Square Manchester, M2 7LA Is this the correct address?

AnonyMouse_12960 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Funnily enough I had to ring Ofsted today, as I was about to send them an EY3 form (downloaded from their site today) only to realise that it still had the Royal Exchange address. Ofsted reiterated what Marley's email said about the post being forwarded for 2 years from M2 to M1. However, when I asked Ofsted what to do about uodating documents, posters, policies etc the advisor told me to wait until we had recieved official notification from Ofsted. I had to stop myself from laughing out loud at this point. Notification from Ofsted? When did that last happen!!!!! All my documents would be totally out of date if I waited for Ofsted to tell me to update them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lucyevans Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 This afternoon I spoke to Ofsted re. their change of address... they moved 2 weeks ago and all mail is being forwarded to them. They will update the Parents Poster as soon as they can (he said lol). Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
