Someone has told me that Ofsted are six months behind registering New nurseries! Bridget Phillipson HELP! 28 parents signed up, staff employed (you have to have staff to be registered!!). I just want to cry.

Morning ❤️

I think before we start talking about school holidays being to long. People need to look on their own doorstep! Systems and procedures for Ofsted registration of a new nursery are delaying, destroying and financially risking people’s well being. #justsaying

Happy Wednesday. I’m taking out my sons god children age 3 and 4 years. We are off to a flower field because last week they said their Mam deserved flowers because she works so hard. ❤️❤️ #spreadthehappiness

I realised watching the new freaky Friday I hadn’t watched the old one 😂😂😂 #freakyfriday

Thank you to the kind man who carried my suitcase in Cobham this evening. #spreadthehappiness

A fabulous start to the academic year with a movement based literacy day in Cobham. #spreadthehappiness

I’m getting Ofsted registered next week! How exciting. 🎉 #spreadthehappinesspedagogy

It’s good to know that to open a private nursery Ofsted is rigorous in its procedure. I feel our youngest children are safer from this.

Despite difficulties getting registered with Ofsted, council planning issues and building delays both nursery expansions open their doors to families this week. Hope Bridget Phillipson feels proud of us because it’s been a tough journey.

Today as my Spread the happiness nursery team welcome families to register their children, I am delivering a PD day in Lovely Leeds. 😊 #spreadthehappiness

I am sat on tender hooks to waiting for the Ofsted certificate to open! Even though I was inspected Thursday. 20 parents need childcare tomorrow. 3 staff are employed. Come on!

Just had to tell 20 parents needing childcare tomorrow that I can’t open due to Ofsted not giving me my registration certificate! Bridget Phillipson I’ve failed to open on time the nursery expansion due to a certificate.

Fingers crossed for you.

I’ve just been told by Ofsted that I’m in the sign off queue and I’ll be hearing from them in ‘near distant future’. 20 children waiting on childcare Bridget Phillipson I am ready to open just OFSTED with work load issue!!!!

Spot on x ❤️❤️ Sometimes forgotten x

I’m looking forward to speaking in Birmingham and Southampton over the next few days. #spreadthehappiness

Thank you Ofsted finally my registration certificate. We open Monday 😊 #spreadthehappinessnursery
