I got "the call" yesterday! I have my first ever inspection on Fri at 2pm!

What should I expect?

Do I offer her a cup of tea?

How do I talk to her and play with mindee? Should I set up an activity to do with them? Will she just hover around or sit with my paperwork?

I have obv only ever had my pre reg visits, we sat and chatted , had a cup of tea and she wandered around my house. It will have to be different this time as I am actually minding!

I like my CCO and it is def hef coming out so I feel ok about it at the mo, hope I am not lulling myself into a false sense of security!

Yes to the cup of tea... also show her where the loo is.

Plan activities the children are used to so you don't come unstuck with them playing up over something different.

You focus on the children, the inspector will fit in around their needs.

Good luck! :D

Thanks Sarah, I am so looking forward to it being over!

I think I might just have one mindee and neither of my own kids Mindee is always really content. I think I will put out some gluing or the play doh or something

I am so happy!!!! Inspection went very well :) I got all 5s, apart from one thing, and the only reason I got a 4 was because I haven't been running a whole year , but she is going to discuss if with her colleague and it may go up to a 5.

Apparently I am really on the right track and could expect 6s next year if I continue as I am!!!

Honestly I can't tell you how happy and relieved I feel! Also my son came home from a 5 night school trip to Paris! I am one happy lady !

Thanks for all of your support!! Xx
