Preparing for first ever inspection!

[-Claire-]

Hi,

I have today handed my application in to become a child minder
Ver excited and very nervous!,

Is there any advice on what I need to do for my house, I've done the whole plug sockets, corner guards and stair gates.... Not sure what else I need to do...

What do the inspectors look for and how can I make sure I pass?

Do I need all of my toys, high hairs, pushchairs etc for him/her to see?

I'm worrying so much lol

Hope I pass, I can't wait to get started.

Any help and advise greatly received, thank you.

Hi Claire

I am in scotland so some things are different but I have my inspection in a couple of weeks!!

I know I have to have my sockets, fire blanket and mains powered smoke alarms in (as advised by fire service) plus stairguards etc and all papwerwork such as polices and procedures ready.

Work through the pre-reg booklet from Ofsted - that will give you lots of information and advice to set you on the right path!

Good luck... and don't forget to let us know how you get on
