Well I've had my pre reg today and after 7 HOURS she's finally gone!!

Although her departing words were that she felt she could happily recommend me for registration and I should await my certificate!

What a harrowing day!

7 hours ?????

What on earth can take that long?

WOW!! Well done you for getting through it! :clapping::jump for joy::clapping::jump for joy:

Wow! Good on you for sticking with it for that long x congrats too x

7 hours!! Why was she there for that long?

Congratulations, I bet you're relieved that's over! Xx

She literally went through everything! I started to feel like she was gonna ask me what colour underwear I had on.

We initially did the walk through if the house and garden and I identified the areas that we are working on. Then she checked my ID.

We moved onto health issues and I explained my current situation with work as I'm off sick (stress).

We then moved into complaints, safeguarding and Heath, hygiene and well being.

Finally we discussed the EYFS and she provided scenarios in which she wanted me to provide answers in how I would apply the EYFS for a 12 month old and a 4 year old.

It was just a really really long drawn out process and I'm glad it's done with!

Hopefully a bit more plain sailing from here!

That was exactly my problem she arrived just after 10 and didn't leave until 5 to 4!!

My DS (almost 1) was bored rigid thankfully I had nothing else planned!

Think that's only 6 hours but really well done - crazy that she stayed so long.

How can ofsted justify the cost of a 7 hour ore reg inspection?

Well done... 7 hours that's long, mine was under 3 hours, and we went through everything, I would be clawing the walls trying to be nice for that long lol
