Nursery Failed OFSTED should I get a refund?

Esqui

Back on topic, if you are happy with the changes made, then keep your little one in there until August. But a refund/reduced rate would be hard to ask for as you've voluntarily kept your child there after knowing about the failed inspection.

As for the time you didn't know...maybe there's a possibility, but I'm not sure how it works.

How serious the problem is depends on why it failed - you don't say.

The lesson to be learned is that if you value Ofsted's opinions over YOUR OWN opinion of an establishment then read the previous report before you send your child there.

If on the other hand you are prepared to look carefully at a place and ask questions of the staff then trust your own judgement.

Some Ofsted reports aren't worth the paper they are written on!

Doesn't anyone else get an uncomfortable feeling reading this post.

At no time does the OP show ANY concern about the wellbeing or treatment of the child being left in this awful place .

Just a slight glimmer of a chance of getting some money,

"sod the kid, I should get some cash!!!"

Sickening......

I thought that was because the child is being taken out soon anyway and so the damage is done and wanted to see if there is any chance of getting some money back.

Why do you feel entitled to any cash?

I don't see why you'd be entitled to any sort of refund.

You were happy while your child was there before the OFSTED inspection.

You are happy leaving your child there after the OFSTED inspection.

I'm confused. Surely to claim some sort of refund, you would be doing it on the grounds of being unhappy in some way?

when you say that the nursery failed their ofsted what outcome did they recieve? outstanding, good, satisfactory or inadequate? if a setting recieves anything less than good they are given a list of ammendments they are required to make, they then have 3 months the make the required ammendments and ofsted will return to reofsted them. If osted felt that the setting was that bad they have the powers to close the nursery on the spot, as you mentioned your daughter is still there this obviously isnt the case. When looking into ofsted reports you have to be extremely careful how you take a settings rating, for example a setting can be marked down on their report for simple things such as paperwork, many of these things may not actaully have any affect on the care a child at the setting recieves, also different oftsed inspectors can see things differently, for example the nursery I work at we were marked down on the fact that our committee hadnt been crb checked or had suitable person interviews, when we queried the fact that we wernt aware they had to be and asked why we wernt informed of this we were told that the ofsted inspector had advised upon arrival to the setting (how does that give a setting time to implement the requirement) we also argues that as not one single member of the committee has any contact with the children in the setting or come into the setting whilst children are there why do they need to be crb checked, they couldnt answer this, only saying that it was a new requirement, also on 2 seperate ofsted's we were told 2 different things regaurding us letting the children wash their own plates and cups at the end of snack time, one enouraged it and the other said we shouldnt be doing it. So it is really important to read the ofsted report in full and find out what they failed on, as i said it may be nothing the do with the child's actual care. But anyway back to the question, no you dont have a right to reclaim any money as they have cared for your child and offered a service that you have agreed to and sent your child to, wether the parent feels that the level of care their child is recieving is adequate depends on the parent and simply if they dont feel its good enough then any outstanding bills must be paid and the child may be withdrawn and sent to another nursery

As other posters have stated don't understand why you feel that you have any entitlement to any cash because of this at all. You were happy enough to leave your child there?

What do you mean the Nursery failed? Was it put on special measures or did it just not get outstanding or adequate across the board?
