    Default Eeeekkk, Registration visit is booked for Tuesday!! :)

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Nicci and i have been in the process of registering to be a childminder since April. I have been working very hard and the end is now within reach. Today i received a call from the lovely lady that will be inspecting me on tuesday at 10am, she was very friendly and we had a good chat.

    I am extremely excited, but also very nervous too as i don't really know what to expect. I was just wondering whether any of you lovelies would be able to offer me any kind words of advice or any tips for my big day

    Thank you!!

    Nicci xx

    Hi Nicci,

    My registration visit was in July and I found it a really positive experience!

    As soon as the Ofsted lady walked through my door she put me at ease, asking if I had any children lined up, and confirmed she would get me registered as soon as possible

    I made her a cup of tea and we just sat on the sofa and was having a chat and going through the questions in the 'Preparing for your Ofsted visit' booklet - I was also able to ask Mrs O questions of my own and she gave me lots of ideas for my setting

    My visit was only 2 hours and I wish I hadn't got myself all worked up beforehand - I hardly slept the night before!

    Good luck with your registration visit and let us know how it goes xx
