Bad Reporting???

I would like to comment on emamum23's post. I am only 19, so what? Due to my own knowledge (BRAINS), dedication and the GREAT continuous support from my Manager- Carla (who has 2 children herself), I was able to pass both my Level 2 and Level 3 in Child Care, Learning and Development in under 2 years. I have attended several short courses regarding child care to further my knowledge, and am due to start my level four in September, followed by my level 5, then B.A! (Gosh feel like I'm in an interview lol)! Therefore, qualified enough for management, if not over qualified!!

With reference to those who refer to OFSTED being the people you trust and listen to, both myself, other staff members and parents of the setting find it rather worrying that you trust what OFSTED say so much (although they are only present for 2 days in 3 years),instead of trusting the Childcare Professionals that you chose to leave your children with. (Some 50 hours per week)!!

Well must go, just planning for next week- its running in the road exercise, knife throwing and fire starting!! WOO HOO!!!! :D

you have a level 3, a years experience and a few top up courses.... congratulations, you are actually less qualified than me!
 
This is the Pre School my son has just left,

Now this is what a report should be like!
Esporta

Or are OFSTED lying and I should really believe that they let them play with knives and left the younger ones in dirty nappies? Hmmm

Yes I trust OFSTED to their job. Same as I trust my GP to do hers, even if I only see her for 2 days every 3 years. Incidentally I wouldnt trust you with a snail.

Glad you can make light from this damning report and peoples opinions. Perhaps you should recognise the fact that the people commenting on this report have a) mostly tried to be supportive in light of Carla's comments, and b) are the members of the public that are talking openly and letting you know our opinions. You can guarentee we are not the only people in Accrington that are concerned about the reports. However, we are the ones that you have the opportunity of discussing your side of it with. I personally would have taken this opportunity as your boss seemed to have), rather than use your attitude to wind people up even further.
 
I think you should speak to your manager [Carla] before seriously coming on a forum spouting off about her business [she was handling it & doing a much better job politely], congrats that u have childcare qualifications not a doubt but seriously think any management is way above you & are therefore not qualified in any management skills nor have proper experience so which it shows. Therefore i'd worry about your job rather than a forum atm! As many parents come on this forum & want advice or is seeking good nursery care, you have placed Dolli Dimples is a precarious situation that despite even the ofsted report, the attitude of senior staff [other than owner so far] have jaded the possibility of encouraging new business or even business that you have already in serious jepordary. As qualifications are essential but after reading the response from the Ass manager Danielle, i think a few yrs experience & bit more life exp is a must too for that position & as an ass manager u need to accept responsibility also, not blame a forum, yr customers or potential customers - u have a duty & responsibility !!

thats the best laugh ive had in this thread so far, how pathetic is that statement?

OFSTED are government officials, i'd trust them 100% more than i would trust a childish 19 year old

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned this today. :confused:

There was an article in today's Observer stating that the ofsted report in question has been partially upheld, whatever that means. :rolleyes:

A letter sent to the nursery from a regional complaints investigator stated:

1) Comments about staff interaction were harsh

2) Staff portfolios were of a good standard and should have been included

3) The original inspector apologised for the way she had made reference to staff not signing registers and implying that ratios of adults to children were not being met.

4) The reference to children regularly being left in soiled underwear and their noses never being wiped would be removed from the report

5) Children were not left unsupervised in the kitchen

What do you make of this? :confused:
 
i read it earlier H, i was quite surprised no one has said owt

i wont believe it till i read the report myself, anyone can say anything to a newspaper to make themselves look good

Hmmmm. I don't know what to make of it either. :(
 
why would OFSTED say something like they said in the first place then retract it? it doesnt make sense, something fishy is going on, can anyone find this 'new' report? has it actually been published?
 
It does sound like they are backtracking and if they are now saying that some of the original report wasn't accurate that does begin to shed some doubt on other ofsted reports too. They are either reporting accurately or they aren't you can't have it all ways up, one minute they are to be believed and the next minute they change their minds.
 
We don't know that OFSTED are back-tracking it is just what the manageress is saying. They are due another inspection this month so maybe things will become more clear after that is published

Not always, as long as u have experience of working with young children is also considered with a crb which maybe within the criteria dependant on how direct u are working within the environment.

My daughter had to get her crb clearance before she could take the college course.
