Hi,

I have my 1st graded inspection sometime next week.

I have a 10 month old and 16 month old and my own 2 year old. Only had 16 month old a couple of weeks (3 days a week), obviously both very young and any planned activities I have done have not gone great be aide they are fed up in a few short minutes.

Will OFSTED be happy if I out loads of toys out safely and sit on floor and just play and talk to them etc?

Just relax and be yourself :) don't try anything that's going to cause too much stress. As long as she sees you interacting with the children everything will be fine :)
Let them choose things and then you can get them out and interact and also leave them to their own devices too.

In your planning for that session I would write which toys and why (right level of development for the child) I know it is second nature to us but we have to justify what we do and show we know the levels our children are up to - ie you wouldn't give them a marble run or small Lego. So what would you give them and why?
Ofsted will be impressed with your planning a d tour knowledge of the children
