.... And it was absolutely fine! Don't know what I was so worried about! Yet again, a CSSIW inspector proved to be helpful, encouraging, supportive and above all, friendly!

I had all my paperwork on hand for her to see, I had a three year old and 14 month old here so she could observe me. She said that as I only had one over 8 in my setting, she didn't really need to speak to her and that she could just do my inspection with the little ones.

Just wanted to reassure anyone who hasn't had their inspection under the new framework yet that it's not in the slightest bit scary!
