I'm currently on maternity leave but my son starts school in September so I'm thinking of providing before and after school care from then. My inspection is due in July this year but I presume if they call I can just say I'm not currently working and they will contact me again at a later date? They seem to be running behind here anyway, some who were due inspections in November last year are still waiting.
Also, if I'm only providing before and after school care, will they want to carry out the inspection when the children are here? Or will they just come during the day as they usually would and look at paperwork, the setting etc? I'm worried because a friend who worked in a creche was inspected at a time when no children were present and they were downgraded from good to satisfactory simply because the inspector couldn't see the staff interact with the children...they was a little while back so maybe that's changed, doesn't seem fair really.
