Cue panic stations Ofsted are coming!!!

[Bitsy Beans]

So had THE CALL this afternoon :eek:

The inspector can't make Fridays (which is the only day I work at the moment) as she has her granddaughter on that day. She mentioned that I probably wouldn't want her to visit with her granddaughter in tow as it would put me off - was she being serious or is this Inspector humour?! :laughing:
There was dead silence as I didn't know how to take it :o

Anyway it will either be this Friday or next, she has to confirm as a colleague will be coming instead of her.
So it's panic stations at Chez Bitsy :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Please let me have your extremely nice and lovely and understanding inspector vibes :thumbsup:

Was just looking at the Ofsted Inspections board and now I wish I hadn't :o
I just feel I am going to come across badly (I get VERY nervous) and if they come this Friday I don't have time to complete the SEF.

I feel sick with nerves and its my sons 4th birthday today and all I can think about is this stupid inspection :(

I only have my mindee one day a week and she's only had 8 sessions so far. How long do they expect it to take to have a fair idea of what she can and can't do?
I thought I was prepared but after looking at the SEF form I feel completely out of my depth :(

Bitzy, try and do as much as the SEF as you can, even if its handwritten (download the form), at least you've made a start. I'm the same as you, when I'm nervous I just say stupid things or even forget what day it is :D
Just be yourself and try and pretend they are not there as an inspector but they are the parents and you want to show them what a good job you do!
I'm expecting mine soon so good vibes your way :thumbsup:
