do any of u offer the inspector a drink.

I offered a cup of tea or coffee, but my inspector politely refused. It's always worth asking though, it's polite. That's my opinion anyway. :)

thanks i did for my re reg but didnt have children then.....

Yes and both times they have accepted. But i never have tea, so they make do with coffee or squash. hehe

I even offered my last inspector lunch but she didn't accept:(

bless.......... id be happy at urs as a major coffee drinker..... bet they cant accept food.

Oh p.s, remember, if your inspector has a hot drink to leave it in the kitchen and ask her to drink it in there, don't carry it though to where she is sitting. My inspector was very "hot" on that!

Yeah, i bet that is true as I have never heard of an inspector eating lunch prepared by a childminder

well she could be sampling ur foods. lol

Wow that was good of you - I don't even get lunch in my house!

On the hot drink front, you could always offer a lidded cup like a travel mug!! you can buy them in Asda for a couple of pounds. Just remember to add a little cold water to the drink as they stay really hot in those cups as usually thermal!! Don't want to scald the lovely inspectors lips before they give us our grade do we????!!!!! (Joking obviously!!!!):laughing:

hello... i offered my inspectors.. (yes i had two of them) a drink, told them they must sit at the table with it, in a lidded cup, and not to leave a hot drink un attended, i also asked then to leave there bags in the hallway with everyone elses as i had not risk assessed for them, they were happy with this. when they came in and shut the front door they asked if they should lock it and remove the key, i told them th leave the key i would remove it as i wanted to know for sure its location in the event of a emergency!! maybe i was just having a bad day....!!!!

I offerred mine tea/ coffee and she said "only if you are having one" and as I dont drink either I offered her water instead.

I then offered her fruit...we were having a snack, she didnt have any and left before lunch...again I offered ,

i get nervous offering anyone a drink!! :laughing: it is polite though so i would/will.

i offered mine a drink which i made for him and i made myself one and put it on the side and he said you havent had your drink its cold now, i said hazards of the job but ill still drink it,

he just laughed:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

i hope i get him next time:D

No. I didn't have one myself whilst the inspector was there and didn't offer her one either.

Did make sure the children had one though :)

Miffy xx

I offered mine one at snack time and she was offered the same as the children fruit juice, water or milk! She declined my kind offer
