I reg in Jan, had pre reg visit Dec. So was due next inspection 6 months after that (July) but when she called I still had no-one on my books. She said they would leave it another 6 months so should get inspection Jan I should think. My question is, is this the grading one or will she just report back as to how I'm getting on things I need to change etc

Thanks.

Also any advice from anyone who has one recently ?

If you are now actually registered then this will be a full graded inspection. Do you now have children on your books now?

Yes will be your graded one,I just had mine. My tips would be stay relaxed keep things natural so you can talk to her and interact with the children.
Have all paperwork ready for her to look at so your not running around looking for things, ask parents of children to do a reference for you, do your self evaluation form so she can see more detail on what your setting has to offer and don't be afraid to say what you feel and ask questions if you have any too. Good luck :-)

Yes had 2 over 8's in summer hols. Then started with 2 early years children in sept. Thanks, will start preparing for visit now then. Fairly organised paperwork wise but not even looked at SEF......YIKES!!!!!!! Scary!
