Ive had 2 inspections and each time the inspectors were lovely.

I do have risk assessments but the inspector hardly looked at them !

Come and say hello in the hello section of the forum so everyone knows who you are you

Regarding your question most Ofted inspectors are nice

You are already aware of what you have to do if you have already done one before ? It is more or less the same

If you look at the Bromley website to see if you have all your policies up to date and look in this section of the forum you will find heaps of information if you can not find what you need - which I am sure you will - then give us a shout and someone will help

Hello!
You will need a risk assesment ...that will impress them if you have it in place before you start. It's the EYFS that comes in September 2008.
Good luck!

Ofsted inspectors are generally nice! Now and again you hear about an inspector who thinks they are God but not often.

My inspector was lovely!

Dont worry!

I have a laminted risk assessment (for the house of course, not trips ect) on the room it referrences to, enough for a weekly tick down, then any thing I notice as a risk I write it into my 'risk assesment book'

Sarah Nev I believe is selling a risk assessment thingy through her website, which I'm currently waiting to get so I can do it better
