    Eek good luck!!! You must tell us how you get on! I've been told mine will be before the end of January but I only started last week and have been told to hand questionnaires out after a month. I've only done a tiny bit of my self assessment that has been sitting since June too lol.

    Good luck! I registered in August last year and had my first inspection on June. I had a lovely lady and it went very well.

    Lady was lovely, i had 2 mindees today (one who acted up the whole 2 hours she was here). She said she loved my diary, paperwork was all great just have to add a review date rather than just say 6 monthly. Comments on questionaires were good, house was good, nappy/snack hygiene etc was all good.

    She gave me 3s and one 4. She said im sorry i cant give u a higher grade as its your first year which i would of accepted had my friend not of been inspected a month ago and got 5s on her first inspection we both do the same paperwork etc i said this to lady who said shes never heard of a childminder whos been reg 1 year getting higher than a 3 im gutted, esp as she said just keep doing what you are doing and i dealt with said child brilliantly how unfair x

    That does seem very unfair especially when she said keep doing what your doing and praised everything!! I had my first inspection 3 weeks ago and sounds like we got on about the same and I got 5s. I know of others in my area who were told the same as you and given 3s or 4s. Really seems to be luck of the draw!

    Is it possible to appeal on the grounds that the only reason she gave those grades was that it your first inspection? Would be different if there were lots of improvements you had to make!! Maybe someone else on here would have experience of this.

    Really feel for you as sounds like you go on great and its a shame she hasn't given you the marks you deserve too.

    Xxx
