Help - got my first graded inspection on either Wed or Thurs next week

[swanswell]

Had the call this afternoon and I am in a real panic now. What do I need to do/know - my mind has gone a complete blank?

She mentioned about completing the SEF form so have printed a copy of that off but am terrible at filling forms in so not sure how I will get thro that.

Any tips/pointers/help/calming methods would be gratefully received!!

there is another thread that will answer your question...I have to take the dye off my hair...
but I don't see why you have to do a SEF if you haven't even started yet!!

Hi, is this your pre reg visit?

[swanswell]

Hi, no it is my first graded inspection. I have been minding a month.

Oooppsss, read that too quickly...yes you will need to do a SEF if it's a grading inspection, sorry.

Hi, no it is my first graded inspection. I have been minding a month.

Minding a month and theyre coming already!!! Ive never heard of that happening so soon after starting up! The sef is youre way of showing off, write everything youve done etc....big yourself up I was told. I still cant get over them coming so soon, do you have enough evidence of obs etc to show them?

[swanswell]

That's what I am worried about that I don't have enough info. My mindee is only here two days a week!

Crikey hun, im not sure what to tell you. You could ring them to make sure they know youve only been minding a month. I was told to expect first graded inspection within 5 to 7 months. Just get whatever you have all together ready for them. Im sure someone like Sarah or Miffy will pop up with a better reply. Sorry Im not much help hun xx
