Show the inspector what you have done so far, then focus on explaining verbally how you care for the children, follow their routines, watch and spot their interests so you can plan other things they enjoy...

Good luck! :D

eyfs folder

is there anything else i need, do ofsted expect you to have everything even tho i just started?

Sending hugs and good luck I'm sure you will be fine. Show her what you've got on paperwork and explain verbally what you need to do or will be doing. She will tell you if anything is missing and guide you on how things are to be done. My inspector was lovely and explained how they would like to see the eyfs Links ( I was doing my next steps wrong well not wrong but making more work for myself) she made it clearer for me. she also said we are also human conturary to what people may think lol Let us know how you get on I'm sure you will be fine good luck again:thumbsup:

Good luck and hope it goes well today x

Thanx for replying everyone ,she didnt come today so it will nw be friday mornin ,ive gone thru my obs again and linked them in better with eyfs,not going to spend all week worryin like ive been doin ,i can only do my best xx

You will be fine, just be yourself. I had my first inspection a few weeks ago and it really isn't as bad as you think. Just make sure all your paperwork is up to date, (I didn't have a great obs file but I was just honest and said that I am still getting to grips with the EYFS and continually read up and go on training to improve my practice).

One thing she did pull me up on was lack on cultural resources, which I know I need to get (got a few, mainly books) but need abit more cash to buy some! So if you are short of cultural resources and you can lend some from a toy library or another cm (which I thought afterwards I could have done), might be an idea xx

Good luck - I'm sure you will be fine :)

Good luck. I've got my first inspection last week and slowly getting more scared as each day passes . . .

Let us know how you get on. I'm sure you'll be fine.
