Got my first inspection next week,and even tho i know everything is not yet perfect im looking forward to it so i can get some positive feedback.I have plans to improve the areas where i think my weaknesses are.Im expecting a satisfactory so if i get a good then i will be pleased..but just hope its not a unsatisfactory if i get an unpleasant inspector!!I started my sef,not online tho!Iv decided that im not going to run around like a headless chicken trying to make sure everything is perfect as i think it will stress me out,and i want to carry on feeling calm.No stress = No mess!! jake :)

Good luck - I'm sure you will be fine - just make sure all your safeguarding is in place

Good luck, you say you have plans to improve some areas do you have these written down with reasons why, inspectors like to an action plan it shows self evaluation.

Good luck for your inspection, i also have mine next week :)

How does this all sound?


It all sounds very good - make sure your safeguarding policy includes what to do in the event of an allegation being made against you or a member of your household.

Good luck, hope the inspection goes well for you
