EEEEEEEEEEEEKK!!! Pre-reg is at 9.30am in the morning, running around like a loonatic trying to make sure everything is ready but was just thinking . . .

(1) Where do you guys store alcohol? Mines out of reach but insight, have no cupboard space!!! My kids do not go in the kitchen you see they are tots.

(2) Are ofsted going to be looking in cupboards? Bit silly i know but have had to cram stuff in to make tidy :blush:

(3) Does it matter if my boys really show me up?:panic:

Thanks in advance:thumbsup:

My alcohol is in the locked cupboard under the stairs, so long as the kdis can't reach it, it's fine ;)

They may look in cupboards where they think the children shouldn't go just to check tere are locks on.

lmao, bless, no it doesn't matter if your kids show you up, but a bit of bribery goes a long way ;):laughing:

Loads of luck and TRY not to worry ;)

Don't panic, even if they do find something they will only advise you on what to do, it won't go against you.

The drinks sound fine if they are out of reach.

If your boys show you up just laugh it off, I'm sure the inspector will have seen it all! ;)

Good luck and don't worry, let us know how it goes :thumbsup:

1) don't store it - drink it quick, it will also help you calm down!!!

2) - just don't open the cupboards or draw attention to them or the un-reg'd room

3) put said children in cupboard or un-reg'd room

:laughing: :laughing: :D

Calm down, relax YOU WILL BE FINE:thumbsup:
As to the alcohol ours gets stored in the fridge in the shed
Ofsted did not look in my cupboards

Good luck for tomorrow xxxxx

If your boys "show you up" show your professionalism by either shrugging it of or dealing with it well

Keep calm and enjoy, tell your boys if they are very very good when the special lady comes tomorow they might get a treat, it can work well with your own children, but children will be children, one of my minded children ask the ofsted inspector when she was going as he did not like her (she took it well and said she would be leaving soon)

I ran out of time to tidy my hallway, so I shoved everything in the boot of the car, in blackbags. Then I panicked that she might want to check my car so I was going to tell her it was stuff to go to the tip!

I survived!!!! Inspector was due at half nine ut phoned at twenty past to say she was stuck behind a five car pile up and would be with me when she could!!! So she arrived at 11am and was gone by 11.40am! My mum took my boys out so that was a result:laughing: The only thing i have to do is check that my back door is safety glass (i rent through the concil) and if not i need to use safety film on it.

Im so relieved its over!!! Thankyou all so much for your support:thumbsup:

It was nothing like i thought it would be, she was very relaxed and only had a quick peek round. Mind you after sitting in traffic for two hours i guess she just wanted to get home for lunch:laughing:
