Any obvious things to remember? :panic:

All help appreciated...

Butterflies in my stomach already:panic:

Just relax & be yourself - its realy not that bad at all.

They won't or shouldn't ask to see your accounts as thats nothing to do with them.

Good luck anyway - but i'm sure you'll be fine :)

You'll be fine, you know you will! Lucky you having the weekend to prepare.

Accounts are nothing to do with Ofsted ...

Good luck! :D

Thanks for your kind comments. I have most of SarahNev's books so a bit of bedtime reading is called for!

I had planned to do my accounts whilst my bf is away this weekend...never mind Ofsted win...

Thanks again.

I know it's easy to say but relax, most inspectors are quite nice.

I was a nervous wreck before mine but my inspector was lovely. We sat in the kitchen and talked over a cup of tea then we went into the living room where the children were playing and she sat down at the table where I had laid all my paperwork out and as I played with the children she went through my work.

Now and again she would stop and ask me questions then we had another chat and 3 hours had passed.

I couldn't have got through it without this forum, so if there is anything you need, just ask :thumbsup:

Good luck and let us know how you got on :)

Ah you're all sooo kind.

Dee... when she rang today she said next week. I could only easily do Tue and Thur due to Toddler Groups and Play and Learn but decided I would be at home on Monday too, just in case as then I can get it out of the way! I'll do P&L on Friday in Guildford. She never said which day she would come, I just expect her before 945am..:panic:

My stomach has been in knots since she rang...my first Oftsed Inspection.:panic:

Nix,x
