I am soooo scared that I don´t have enough paperwork , that mindee will cry all day as it´s his first day after 3 weeks, that Jamie will totally play up :eek: as he has started the terrible twos...ahhhhh I am going crazy..

please tell me she won´t kill me. she´s coming at 1.30 , sounds lovely to be honest but I really just want it over now!!!!

i can totally sympathize i have mine next week:panic: good luck and let us know how it went ,

I TOTALLY understand where your coming from, I have got mine on Thursday. I have a 9 month start today with his older sister (who will be at school) he has cried all day, I think he hates me lol! I have a list as long as your arm of things I keep thinking I must do! ahhhhh! not enough hours in the day! I'm just taking a 5 minute break now as littlen is asleep and big ones are dancing on the wii!!
I am terrified something is going to go wrong, baby crying, dog barking and 3 yr old trying to 'help' the inspector!
Anyway.... Good luck I'm sure everything will be fine and you will do brillianty.
Let us know how you get on!

I felt like you about 3 weeks ago, when I got the call. Try to stay calm.... easier said than done, I know.
I know all inspectors are different, but mine was just as lovely in person as she was on the phone. Don't worry about the children playing up, Ofsted want to see how you deal with the children/situation, and are not expecting you to have little angels.
Good luck, and don't forget to let us know how you get on. :)

You'll be fine! Just stay calm ... it's not about what the children do, it's about how you handle things :D

Thanks everyone,
house is clean! Paperwork all out on the table!
Jamie has been lovely today so there is hope his bad mood was down to the flu.
I have had inspections in germany and was fine. it´s really just all that paperwork that makes me worry. I am sure i´ll be able to handle the kids i used to handle 18 of them :D

The only thing i haven´t done is the sef but ofsted only sent my password last week. the inspector said it´s ok , but i just hope she won´t grill me , my english isnt good when i am nervous :o

i knew of this since the 3rd of december, to be honest i wish she would have just called a day before she came!!!

p.s all i am aiming for is satisfactory to be honest. there is always time for improvement afterwards..
