Calm down you will be fine. I wrote on this thread earlier which may be of help.

Ofsted are not there to trip you up. Just work through the questions and try and know them well :D

Work through the booklet , do your risk assessments and you'll be fine :) good luck :)

And breathe, the pre-reg visit is nothing like as scary as you expect it to be so try not to worry I found that the answers to the questions they asked were in the booklet which I had filled in.

Good luck.

Thank goodness it's over, the lady was really nice, grilled me on the eyfs and the development matters, she didn't really look much at my paperwork I just had to explain my risk assessments to her and show her I knew how to use the pacey paperwork. I would advise anyone going through pre-registration to really show that you know your stuff on all of the 7 areas of learning and how you will put them into practice.
I should get my certificate in the next week!! Can't wait to start!!
