Just had my first inspection and it went really well - I was graded Good in all areas which I was thrilled about. She didn't mind my 14th month old emptying her drink onto her coat! As far as I can tell it was a really sensible inspection - she wasn't obsessed with risk assessments, just flicked through them, she sat with us for the whole time on the sofa going through the paperwork but interacting with the kids as well. Didn't go into the garden - just glanced out the window, just popped her head into the bedrooms. She seemed more concerned with how I was with the kids and their learning goals. Just got one recommendation - more ICT with my toddlers, to which one mum said 'I dont want my kids on the computer!'

Now I can sleep!

Awesome, you did really well then :clapping:

Can I ask you how long did you mind before they came to inspect you?
I'm new and been minding since september .. :)

Hope you have a nice glass of vino tonight xx

Excellent, well done you :clapping: did she look at your SEF? I only ask because my first inspection is looming and im trying to get everything right before she comes x

Well done :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Working madly on completing my SEF. Can't wait for it to be over and then I can relax and sleep.

Hopefully everything will go well.

Well done hun :thumbsup:

Thanks all - been minding since beginning of June, but only term time so had 7 weeks off in the summer. I did do my SEF which took a long time!

well done, bet that is a huge relief!!!!

Now you can relax and enjoy the job!

:)

Well done - and don't worry about ICT for toddlers. Mine demonstrated their knowledge during the inspection when I heated my coffee (gone cold as usual) in the microwave and they said - 'your coffee ready Penny'.

Lots of ways to demonstrate without going near the computer - so easy to reassure the parent

Penny:)

Well done :clapping:

I'm waiting for mine now. I've been registered since June but only minding for a month so i'm hoping it's not going to be too soon so I can try and do my SEF.:eek:

Now you can relax and enjoy!
