I have my inspection tomorrow (first one) and I was talking to two of my CM friends who said they had the same inspector as I am going to have and this inspector is big on getting out to play groups and libraries etc.
I have only been minding for 18 weeks a brother and sister who are sooo shy and timid, they are really quiet also. I am working with the parents to help with the shyness and get them more confident with larger groups, making short/long term friendships etc.
I have been visiting two different cm and their mindees to get my mindees used to some other people and make friends. It took a few weeks but now when I ask do they want to see XXX they are excited and love going there... result as when we first went the never left my side.
Now they have got used to these children and slightly larger groups (2 adults and 8 children) I have just started with the library, baby rhyme time as they love singing. Again when we first went (with other cm and mindees) they were a bit unsure, but they went off a little bit with the other children and not too far from me. I want to continue with the library until they are confident enough before I start introducing toddler groups and messy play with larger groups of people and I dont want to do too much with them too soon and set them back.
Will this work against me as I have not yet taken them to other places? We do go the the park a lot...
