Hello
Firstly please dont panic. I had my inspection on Monday and it was fine and the Inspector never asked to see my wish list, just asked if I had one! Make sure you go through the "preparing for your pre-registration inspection' leaflet as that was really good and the Inspector looked through mine because I had answered all the questions!

You will be fine.

Let us know how it goes

Donna - i'm sure you will be fine - good luck!
Hebs - well done:)

Ooooh good luck and let us other pre-regies know how you get on. :thumbsup:

Before I get Ofsted coming, we have a pre-visit from our EY team who do a 'practice' with you to get you ready. Has anyone else had something similar?

I did, my local pre-inspection lady was more thorough than ofsted she told me that my bleach etc in the top cupboard wasnt enough it had to have a lock on it as well. So went and bought and fitted locks and the ofsted lady said it didnt need one as it was high up!!!

donnamcburnie - you sound VERY ready to me, honestly its not as bad as it feels at the time!

[Hebs]

My inspector never asked for my booklet cos shed never seen one before lol

[Peppa]
