I've new too and would love some tips x

Wow Shamai! How fab!
I just wondered if you managed to sort out an 'ultimate action point & paperwork list' - I'm working my way through Sarah's Paperwork Checklist e-book thingy!
I am coming back into CMing and I (only) got Satisfactory before in 2010, as I simply followed a rubbish checklist given to me by my LA Early Years team. I thought it was a definitive checklist and it turns out it was the basic/bare minimum! So wish I'd had more guidance...
This time around I'm taking a 'belt and braces' approach.
What do you do that made you 'stand out'?

Brilliant :) well done you :)

Hi SammySplodger

I used Sarah's checklist as my guide and wrote feedback on my inspection last Sunday on here. I honestly don't think I done anything to make me "stand out" - in a nutshell, I was able to provide evidence on how I have helped mindees progress/keep them stimulated, how I follow the 7 EYFS areas, how I communicate with parents/other settings and how I keep them safe. :thumbsup:

I will be due my first grading inspection soon..I was registered sept 2012, I am a gold member on childcare.co.uk is sarahs checklist on there? Or some where else? :-)

You can find it under Free Resources tab above, then Free Downloads, EYFS, Compliance Checklist 2012 x

Brilliant! Thank you! Hopefully I'm on the right track then :-D

Well done, that's great news!:clapping:

well done - I managed a Good with a couple of outstanding points - and I was chuffed with that. Well, well done!
