Hi everyone

I've got my first inspection coming up soon and it's just occured to me that I'll have to keep three 18 month olds amused for around 2-3 hours while she's here... :eek:
Normally I take them to Children's Centres and toddler groups for 2 hours in morning and 2 in afternoon. I started doing this as they start climbing the walls (well, one of them in particular does!) after short periods of time, and their attention span is still pretty short so doing organised activities isn't really possible in the house. I guess what I'm saying is that she'll be seeing an unnatural environment as we do tonnes of activities at the centres, but I'm limited to what I'm able to do with them at home... any suggestions?

Thanks
FP

Make sure you complete your SEF that will cut down the time the inspector spends with you most people I know who had completed their SEf only had 1-1.5 hrs inspections. I know the best ways to keep mine occupied food:laughing: . Just set up various activities (clean ones) ie building bricks jigsaws read them a story sing some songs if its a good day get in the garden and let them have a good old run around. you will get notice before your inspection takes place I got 3 weeks so monitor the kids interests to your resources over the next few weeks what ever is the most popular get it out on the day.
Good Luck:thumbsup:
