Relax! Stay calm..... Don't panic.....
Oh, don't let your husband anywhere near the house between now and then if he's even half as messy as mine!

Good luck x

I remember that feeling clearly! But mine was absolutly lovely! Just remember to ask to see their id - mine actually held hers out to show me, but with the nerves I let her in as she was holding it out!

Good luck

You will be fine.

There is loads of info on inspections in the inspection section of the forum.

Do not worry, Ofsted is word everyone dreads, on the whole the majority of inspectors are lovely and you have nothing to worry about.

Make sure you have copies of the complaints forms in your folder.

Make sure your attendance register is up to date and filled in with exact arrival and departure times and not contract times.

Ensure to ask for ID when before letting the inspector in - do you have a visitors book? get her/him to sign in.

show evidence of any activities/themes you have done recently.

As long as you are meeting the standards you will be fine. Read through them, if you feel there is anything you could improve upon you have 3 days to do it.

I am certain it will all be fine

sending you lots of good luck

My main advice is to relax and not get too worried.... and yes i know how that sounds!!!!!! the worse inspection i have had is when i was so nervous i was constantly being sick! not nice. Be confident, clear and organised. good luck xxxxxxx
