cant believe its over, they were here for three hours and i got good in all areas :clapping: was quite gruelling,i hd a 14 month old and 16 month od and they played up a little so i got a bit flustered but think i handled it pretty well.i owe a special thanks to sarah without whose guide to sef i would have been lost, they said it was the first one filled in they had seen! and they could tell a lot of work had gone into it.( it had, iwas up till 1.00 am on friday and saturday night) but i am so glad i did it, i would advise everyone to get it done,and get sarahs guide if it seems daunting, cos it translates it into plain english:laughing: i feel weird now its over, ive put so much into this i feel drained, but im looking forward to a good sleep tonight( after a couple of glasses of wine cos only got after schoolers tomorrow)! thanks everyone i know its a cliche now but i really feel supported by this forum :thumbsup: xx

Well done you!!!!! What a relief it's over! So glad your hard work paid off.

Congratulations:clapping: :clapping:

Congratulations! :clapping:

3 hours! :eek: I thought Eyfs inspections were supposed to be quicker than that!

Well done for keeping you cool and getting through it!

:clapping: Well Done :clapping:

OMG three hours and that was with a completed sef. i thought they were way shorter than that. Oh no i dread mine even more now lol. is there always 2 inspectors?

thanks for replies. yes sarah 3 hours :eek: 9.00 till almost on the dot at 12. i think it was long because the inspector inspecting me was bein inspected by her inspector at the same time! in fact i think it was my inspectors first time. she kept stopping to consult her senior and apologising to me saying this is all new to us too you know. lol luckily the senior one was really on the ball and kept pointing out things the oher had missed like my multicultural posters . so maybe its better having two, lol. i did try a joke at the start , i said oh has one come to make the tea cos i wont have time with these two:laughing: they did find it funny and it broke the ice lol has anyone noticed though that when the inspection over and theyve given you your feedback that its as though a switch is pulled and they turn back into humans again?? these two immediately started laughing and joking and sayig how gorgeous the girls are and got quite clucky! i was almost sorry to see them go!! ( no that bit is so not true ) wasnt too bad all in all and its lovely when someone says your doing really well:jump for joy: xx

:clapping: well done :clapping:

derby minder ,i dont think theres alwys two but it did actually help knowing i wasnt the only one under scrutiny! as for the sef, i hadnt submitted it so not sure how much they read, they still asked me things . i handed them a printed out copy when they came! x
