I've almost finished it - phew (and thanks to Sarah's e-book!) but I need to know - the very last evaluation where you have to grade yourself, is it just on the last section (as previously) or on the whole SEF?
I don't know what to put really - throughout the SEF the majority of my gradings have been satisfactory, due to the fact that I've only just started minding and don't feel I have the experience or knowledge yet, but in a couple of instances such as keeping children healthy, safeguarding etc I've put good (got to big myself up a bit!!).
So, should I put satisfactory as an overall? Does it actually have any influence on the grading from the inspector? Ideally I'd like an overall good so I don't want her to come here thinking I'm really useless at my childminding service.
