Hi everyone,l I have my first graded inspection on Monday. Very nervous and seem to be spending hours and hours sorting paperwork (not thatits in a state, I just want to make sure I havent missed anything!) although my is currently driving me insane!

Just wondered, the mindee who will be here is 14 months, 5 days younger than my son who will also be here. On a normal day when I put them down for naps I set whoever is staying downstairs away with an activity and nip upstairs with the other. (They both go to bed easily and just get laid in the cot with music switched on and I walk out). I am only away for 30 seconds and I risk assessed this as a safer option than carrying 2 babies up or down a flight of stairs and also better than carrying one up, closing stairgates, carrying the other up, putting one to bed and then carrying the other back down. Will this be an issue for Ofsted?

Also I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of a good activity to do with them. My boy will probably sleep from 9-10.30 and the mindee probably from 11.30-12?

Any replies would be appreciated

If you have risk assessed it as being the safest option then you can show how you have thought through the alternatives.

As for activities - do you have a sensory basket? :D
