Question
Q – “I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on apprentices in a new nursery who are expecting an ofsted inspection, and what to expect? “
Answers
A – “If you are new to your role you may be asked questions regarding your training and induction to the setting”
A – “We are in the middle of an OFSTED inspection & all new staff were expected to have their induction booklet to hand in case the inspector asked to speak to them. They will want to know that you have had a full and robust induction with training relating to policies and procedures in safeguarding predominantly.”
A – “If you haven’t received policy and procedures or an induction and ofsted come in and ask should you straight up say no I don’t know or try to sugar coat the fact you haven’t or don’t know? Sounds stupid but obviously if the setting fails wouldn’t management be cross if you’ve thrown them under the bus so to say?”
A – “Outdoor play/ physical activities 3 hours a day, FGM, safeguarding, Prevent duty, EYFS, planning and assessment”
A – “That ofsted will target them, Prevent duty, Safeguarding are two key things at the mo”
A – “We had ours last week and they didn’t even talk to our apprentice”
