I had my first graded inspection today. I have been dreading it since Mon a.m. but needn't have worried too much, she was a lovely lady that gave me an Outstanding :laughing: At least that's it done with for the next 3-4 years, feel like a huge weight has been lifted knowing its done. She said it will take about a week or two for the report to come through so keep it under your hats til then ;)

Brilliant! :clapping:

Fantastic news well done you
Keep it up x

Hi there i have mine next week and i am really nervous!
Any pointers or anything to look out for i think i have paper work up to date and the hang of the eyfs ( i have worked in a preschool and nursery setting). It is my first graded inspection and want to get some feedback so kinda cant wait but any tips appreciated x:) Oh and a very deserved well done x:clapping:

... any tips appreciated x:)

She basically said that most of the information she needed was in my SEF and its from that she worked from to validate it, iykwim. She spent most the time going through my paperwork so if thats all up to date I'm sure you'll be fine. I did wonder if she would quiz me on my SEF a bit but she didn't. I think its the luck of the draw about who you have on the day :rolleyes: Will keep my fingers crossed that you have nice lady like mine was today!!!

Wow, that's brilliant news. You must be chuffed to bits.
(I'm not saying anything about waiting for that phone call because that will be tempting fate).

That's fantastic. Well done. It's a lovely feeling when it's all done. x
