what do i need to do for 1st graded inspection

[victoriaj72]

Hi, i registrared in May as a Childminder, ofsted came to visit and all went well, now its coming up to November when ill be due my grading, i can only offer Thursday and Fridays at the monet as i work the other half of the week, im struggling to find any mindees, and feeling deflated now, i have had parents ring but wanting different days to which i offer..... so so far i havnt been able to take on mindees.
I was all for giving up and not going ahead, something telling me i should still keep going, my question is do i have to do the sef form? and how can i if i dont have mindees, also what else should i get in place?

i have my policies, contracts, procedures, fees etc in place.

really need some advice! thanks victoria
