Dont panic, your pre reg is just when they come and view your setting, make sure its safe and suitable for minding ie stair gates in place, plug socket covers, blind cords tied out of reach, garden is safe, fire blanket on wall - i had my risk assessments done including outings i proposed to take the children on, policies and procedures, read your booklet as i was asked about eyfs, safeguarding etc. When he/she leaves they will tell you if you are suitable and what to expect next. good luck you will be fine xx

Good advice -Don't Panic

Pre reg is really just a chat and to see if you have thought about everything. You don't even have to have everything in place - just know what needs doing - so if need a stair gate (and might not depending on your setting) say so.

Of course does help if things are in place because the more the

Do check the pre reg booklet - nearly all questions they will ask are in there. Fill in and if think might clam up on day - have to hand and refer to if need to.


Good luck
