Bin the complaints

I have unfounded complaints that remain on my nursery's inspection report. Ofsted have refused to remove them, despite the fact that these complaints are affecting my nursery's sustainability.
I have unfounded complaints that remain on my nursery's inspection report.

Ofsted have refused to remove them, despite the fact that these complaints are affecting my nursery's sustainability.

I had an inspection in May 2006 with a 'good' outcome and so will not be re-inspected for three years. The bad sign in my shop window will remain until the next inspection.

I have asked Ofsted to re-inspect me sooner if that's what it takes to remove the complaints, but Ofsted refuses because my nursery had a good outcome. I can't win!

I would be grateful if providers who may be in the same position would e-mail me in the hope that collectively we may make a difference to this unfair and ridiculous policy.
