Hiya all,

My development worker is comming to visit it me wednesday mornnig for the first time, just wondering what she will do whilst shes here.

Does she inspect your house?

Does she inspect my policies?

Does she question me on anything?

Really not sure what shes comming for, any help would be great

They are supposed to give you advice and help and support ...

She will probably be wanting to find out what you know and how much you will need her in the future.

Don't give away all our forum secrets!! :laughing:

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Really! is that what they are supposed to do! Just kidding but I think someone needs to tell our DO.

I phoned today to see if they had any kind of position or advice for us CM's in case of family illness (i.e. local guidance) and she told me the LA did not have a position and I should ring the government helpline - so much for being proactive. Actually I was only ringing because the government guidance seems to be devolved down to LA's. Actually I phoned her last Tuesday when all my family were looking very poorly and she never got back to me - just as well it turned out not to be swine flu eh!

Hope yours is more effective Daddy Day Care

Probably won't sleep all night....just spent last 3 hours going through all paperwork .Got nothing printed onb observations as still all on computer and need to order some more ink, but guess I could show her on laptop or just tell her about themes/topics and how I will note everything. Anyway guess I better go and get an hours sleep and then tomorrow wonder why I panicked lol :laughing: Hope you are well ?

Relax! They are coming to support you, mine brought me samples of EYFS templates, very helpful.

Honestly, if you need any advice they'll give it to you, just ask!
