no plug sockets they are not needed .. search the forum there was a big discussion about them.
write up a list of things you intend to do once registered such as fitting a stairgate, purchasing toy boxes, fire blanket, first aidkit, where will you store it!
do a basic risk assessment, look at oyur home, what would need changing once you start work? pictures on patio doors, safety glass on single glazing, toilet seat/step, safety in the kitchen you might want to add cupboard locks etc.
providing you have a list of things to do it shows oyu are fully aware of all dangers and you know how to improve them.

I have seen before there has been a lot of debate about socket covers-but my Tutor told me I still need them..I will double check with Ofsted incase..thanks!
