[millseymum]

Hi Guys,

had pre-reg visit went really well am registered yay yay yay! everyone with visits coming up don't worry it will be fine just get the paperwork in order in folders and you will be fine. she picked up on window on front door wasn't safety glass so need to go to b&q to buy special film so check windows and mirrors too!

The lady was really friendly she stayed 2 3/4 hours and had 2 cups of tea (no children present). She didn't look in any cupboards and or check fridge thermometers but I did tell her all about it. Main questions were about how I was to implement EYFS. Am vvvvvv happy !!

Good luck to all waiting guys it will be fine I promise as I was mega nervous but I needn't have been ! (I know this is easy to say but trust me!)

2 weeks after sending off forms off? Did you ask to be fast tracked?

I was told that they normally come out in week 7 after receiving your forms. IF we can speed them up will be fab. Dh is about to send his stuff off as he is going to be a co-minder rather than assistant and will take over the business completely when I have maternity leave (baby due in 3 months time so need him registered fast!)

His CRB was done in July so hoping they will accept the more recent one rather than having to do another one! Might speed up the process..

I will let him know it's mostly EYFS stuff - he's pretty good on that seeing as he is working with me anyway - so I guess he has a bit of a head start

Per reg visit is fine honestly don't panic, I was still in the process of doing my policies etc and she was fine with that too. She came back this week to do my first graded inspection too!

I've got mine on Monday. Am worried about the EYFS stuff. She did say not to worry if I haven't got my policies ready.
She was lovely on the phone and I'm less worried, except for the EYFS. Is it right you can refer to notes?
