    Default Right, I'm ready.....I think!

    Well its the dreaded O day tomorrow! The house is cleaner and tidier than it has ever been, my paperwork is up to date, my SEF has been submitted (though probably not as good and in depth as I would have liked) activities are organised (vegetable printing, online educational games and free play- do you think this is ok?) I think I'm ready! I will probably be so anxious though that I won't be able to answer the simplest of questions, any last minute tips?
    If I'm totally honest I would really really like to get a good grading but most of all, however it goes, it will be such a nice feeling to have it all over and done with, then I can enjoy my last few weeks with the kids before I go on maternity leave.
    Wish me luck,
    Stella xxxx

    Well its all over phew!! I got graded good in all areas and she said I was well on my way to getting an outstanding, so I am more than happy with that
    She arrived at 11:30 and left at 2pm, she was actually really nice and any pointers she gave me I felt that she was actually helping me out rather than criticising or telling off. The only things she said I need to improve on are incorporating more of the nurseries planning into my own and to make notes on my fire drill log, rather than just logging the times and children involved.
    I'm just so happy to now be able to go on maternity leave with it all done and the pressure off.
