    Default Do you have to feed them too?

    Just been reading some other posts... do inspectors inspect to be fed when they visit. I can't cope with worrying about that as well as everything else

    I never have ... I've always offered if they are here over meal times, but they've always refused

    No I don't think they do.

    Your job is to look after the children not the inspector If you're having a coffee then it would nice to offer them one but I definitely wouldn't give lunch.

    I would not worry

    They will prob be looking at your folders or using their laptop when you are serving lunch

    Good luck

    I think I'd offer if she were here at lunchtime. Just a sandwich the same as me.
    Mind you I don't eat 'till the mindees go down for their nap so we'd seem a bit silly just sitting there with no mindees.

    Now I could be wrong, but I actually thought they were not allowed to receive refreshments form you,m as they could be seen as accepting bribes, I know this is or was the case with tax inspectors.

    I mean imagine:
    Childminder A gives inspector cup of tea and biscuits gets a Good.
    Childminder B gives inspector glass of Sparkling Wine (Non alcoholic obviously) and cold buffet lunch gets an Outstanding.
    What would people say?
