I just remembered one more thing about my inspection
One thing Mrs O asked when going through my paperwork was, Have I told parents she is coming and do I have any feedback from them. Luckily I had parental questionnaires done few weeks ago and Mrs O was happy with that!

A lot of childminders are telling me that inspectors are trying to speak to parents - arriving early etc - so it's a good idea to make sure they are primed to say the right things
Thank you for the feedback Mia

I would have loved the inspector to have done that as they are all very complimentary. I even handed her a list of numbers but she wasn't interested. I thought she may have wanted to as I had messed up my SEF and managed to have section 1 text in section 1 and 2......oops!

Oops Rick lol.
Mine asked for input from parents. So i offered my birthday cards as they were from parents n very lovely. She said she wanted to see them n then didnt bother reading them lol.

How frustrating
I had realised my error the day before my inspection so promptly corrected the SEF online and printed it out which the inspector took with her. Still don't know how I managed it!

I was specifically told that I "might like to get references from my parents"... and thankfully both sets provided glowing ones

I have parental questionaires and also a testimol from a parent saying why she picked me :-)
Hopefully all will help.
How did you file yours? I have labbled mine working in partnership. I also have a contact sheet from the childrens centre saying what we discuss.
:-)

yes I labelled mine working in partnership with parents.

when my inspector rang to arrange the inspection, she specifically asked for written references from parents (I made a few frantic phone calls to the parents both past and present!). She also asked if I could find out whether any of the parents would be willing to speak to her while she was there - a couple of parents agreed to this, however, I was lucky as the written references were fab and she was impressed with just looking at those.
