Hi All,
Sorry have'nt been on here for a while as things have been extremely hectic.
I am having a massive stress at the moment & panicking sooo much!!:panic:
I was hoping your lovely selves could offer your guidence.:)
I have been registered since Feb 08 & just when i had finally got my head around all the paperwork, it has all started over again....AAAHHHH!
I had someone ring me from ofsted a month ago saying they were updating records,how many children do i mind etc & she said (what i thought i heard her say) Someone will be out to inspect you BEFORE September. Well i was on hols for 2 weeks in july so i was frantically making sure all was in order, and now i still have not had any call about inspection!!! Everyday i think the phone will ring yet nothing. Now i'm thinking OH NO maybe i misheard & she said someone will inspect in September!!! I have been so busy fretting over the inspection when i'm now thinking i should have been writing up all new policies and welcome pack as what i have been busy doing will be null & void in a week or so's time!!!!
I havent even got my head around the EYFS pack yet & feel like im going to fail!!!! I have been taking lots of pics & doing obs ect, really enjoying minding but so shattered in evenings that i keep opting to lay down & watch BB rather than look through my paperwork. Of course now this month has already flown & im thinking ofsted will call Sept when i have been too busy doing national standards and how i meet them etc.
So so sorry to babble but im having kittens here:panic:
Does anyone have any ideas as to when ofsted would be likely to call as i only registered in Feb? I read somewhere that people only just registered will be after or in Sept.
Could i phone Ofsted to ask if it will be before Sept?
Also do i have to re-write all my policies? Please i hope not!! I'm thinking i will just get away with tweaking them to match with welfare requirements?
I really am clueless here, and would be grateful to some words of advice.
Thank you so so much x x x:)
