Hi im having my pre-inspection next week and was wondering how long after that will my actual first inspection be? Thanks jake :)

Mine was between 6 and 7 months.

It is usually about 6 months but there are no absolute rules.

I work every day as if Ofsted might turn up :D

Thanks for that but i thought after we are registered 6 months that we had a pre-inspection and then the actual first inspection a couple of weeks later!
Thanks jake

No, I don't think so. First your pre-reg visit. Then between 6-7 months you should get a phonecall asking if you are minding early years children. If so, they will come within 5 working days, they will ask you when you are likely to be in. That's what happened to me anyway and I had my inspection last week.
