Well, after 3 weeks of her original phone call, and me returning her call twice and leaving messages, Mrs O has finally phoned back! She's going to phone me after Easter and arrange a day to come round (*GULP*)
She told me that I'm not her priority, as I'm graded 'Good' and they've had no issues with me - she said to take it as a compliment :laughing:
I just feel as I've still got so much to do!! And I don't know where to start - aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh. I'm one of those people who wants to do MORE (I know...mad eh?!) and I'm never happy with what I've done, always thinking I could do better! My hubby says I'm far too hard on myself LOL

When was your last inspection? - mine was 4 years ago next Monday, I have looked at the Ofsted inspection website for my area and so far they have only inspected people who got satisfactory or have moved or had complaint made against them - am lulling myself into false sense of security I think - one day she will ring!
I have re-ordered first aid supplies - still in date until August, need to re-date my risk assessments, try to get up to date with LJ, make sure all registers, medicines/accidents books have been signed, updating SEF, what else will you be focusing on?

About 12 miles away I would think - I'm still not answering my phone, they can leave a message after the tone! Which inspector did you have - my last one came up from Bournemouth!

I've sent you a PM, not sure if I should broadcast their name! Not sure where the inspector was from but she also did my friend's inspection. A few others here have had inspections recently
