Something like this obviously not all these questions but teaching them something different, extending their vocabulary, testing their listening and understanding skills etc and then you could turn to the inspector and say 'oh yes yesterday he repeated 3 new words to me and when mum collected him she was delighted and said he's been chatting at home about his new wellingtons which you talked about yesterday.......' and this shows sharing information with parents and extending learning at home and your setting. Sorry to keep typing on and on but does this make sense?
