Hi all

My inspection is booked for Friday, mindees mum just called and they are off on a last minute holiday from Tuesday. Will I need to phone prospects to advise of this? The inspector only booked Friday as she wanted to ensure all of my children were here on the day of the inspection as other mindee and myself had holidays booked around time of inspection.

I will still have Mindee A but mindees B and C won't be here. I have prepared myself for this now and really don't want to postpone it.

Thanks

You have got one mindee so just go ahead.

You have got one mindee so just go ahead.

Thanks, I was hoping it would be fine to do so, but not having any experience of inspections wasn't sure.

I'd go ahead with 1 mindee - like you say it gets the whole thing over and done with.

you might find it easier to talk to the inspector with fewer children in the house as well.

Good luck :D

I had my last one with just 1 mindee. I have to admit I arranged it that way :blush:

It's beyond your control anyway, as long as you have one mindee that's fine.

At my last inspection I was expecting to have two 2yo's but both were sick so I had to keep a 4yo off playgroup so that I had a child there! Anything is better than cancelling and having to go through it all again later!

Good luck

As everyone has said if you have a child that is fine.

Good luck for Friday:)
