Well done Helen!!! I'm glad it wasn't that bad then...makes me feel abit better about mine. I better keep reading through those standards though...glad i've done all the policies. It's just not having all the toys and equipment that bothers me but i know people on here have said you don't need to have it all for the pre-reg... i'd just like to have it all!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much stuff have you already got? Did the inspector comment?

Thanks for the messages everyone - i've never been part of a forum before and am amazed at the support!

Hi Kelly...re equipment, I really only have my sons toys (he's 15 months) and a few puzzles and games and a toy farm that I picked up at the car boot. We already have high chair, potty, pushchair etc, but apart from that...not loads!

I mentioned that my local childminders drop-in centre has a toy library that I intend to use a lot (especially for multicultural toys), also that I plan to get books from the library (20 at a time on my son's card), and that I wanted to wait to find out what my mindees like (linking this to equal opportunities, (i.e individualism!) and what ages/ development stages they are...so Care, Learning and Play (choice), as well as Organisation!

Lol, can you tell I'm all standard-ed out?!

I wrote a wish list of things that I'd like to get too. which the inspector had a look at. Just general stuff, like a slide, dressing up clothes, sand pit, paints and art materials, sing-a-long cd's etc.

Hope that helps a bit x

Thanks for the reply, Helen
That helps loads...i won't stress about not having all the toys and eqipment then!!! I am however stressing that i haven't got my house all child proof yet and it's now 4 days away!!! Can't do anything on sunday as it's my little boys christening. He's 10 months and crawling so we have some things covered. Although i have a shed standing up against my hedge which i am ordering my bloke and father in law to be to get up on saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
