First tip, calm down, have a look and make sure you are familiar with your paperwork, and look through the 'are you ready for your inspection' booklet!
I would set up your paperwork on a table or somewhere so that it is all ready for her on the day and then chill and be yourself!
Blimey - that's quick if you were registered in November?
Good luck and try to stay calm (she says with a smile on her face as I'm already panicking and haven't even had the call yet!).
Let us know how it goes.

Don't panic..............................
You'll be fine - check through your paperwork as that's what they're hot on and don't change anything you would normally do on the day otherwise the kids will notice and may ask awkward questions :rolleyes:
Good luck

Honestly just calm down
I know it sounds bizarre but after the first 5 mins I actually enjoyed mine, the inspector was lovely.
I stressed like mad before mine but it really wasn't that bad.
Just make just all the basics are in place, RA policies etc, and make sure you know whats in them! Anything else is just a bonus
Just be yourself xx
Goodluck xx

Yes calm down
Write yourself a list of things to do and tick them off if you have already done then - get cracking if you havent :laughing:

You are going to be fine Sarah

You'll be fine! Just make sure you have everything, know your children well ( as well as you can in the few months you have been working) and you know the EYFS requirements.
But I would be cross with them for not giving you much chance to start up if you only registered in Nov - thats only 2 -3 months:eek:

They seem to be doing this quite a lot recently. I had mine last month and I was only registered on 28th Sept. When I queried it, as I only got my 1st mindee mid Oct, she just said they had targets to hit. I felt at a huge disadvantage I must admit.
