    It's ok, don't panic. The pre-reg inspection is quite laid back - so don't feel too much under pressure about it. You will be fine

    Do you have a copy of the Ofsted preparing for your registration visit booklet?

    That's what she said we would be going through and said I could fill it out in advance and refer to it during the visit. She also said that all safety items didn't need to be in place as long as I showed what I intended to do and what was needed for safety.

    I also need my marriage certificate, passport and another letter like a card statement to prove my indentity and check the crb form.

    I never got any leaflets or anything so could not prepare at all. Feel really upset now. Bet they won't accept me All we were given at the ICP was "preparing for GRADED inspections" which is nothing to do with the pre-reg.
    I'm feeling really let down by my local authority.
