Hi,
I have previously worked as an EYE (Early Years Educator) and, after having my son, decided to go into childminding. I really would like to do this to the best of my abilities and am so excited about the prospect, I just can't wait for the course to find everything out.
So, for those that are reading, could you let me know how long it took from registration for Ofsted to do your first inspection? Is there any way I could get them to come sooner? I'm eager to start as soon as possible.
I'm also looking for any tips to help me to get to outstanding. I'm not sure this is possible in your first inspection, but it can't hurt to try my hardest. I have a million ideas for the children and am up-to-date with the EYFS. I know all about most of the paperwork, due to my past role, but I can't seem to find any information about safety measures and location settings. What are Ofsted looking for in the physical appraisal of your setting?
Sorry about all the questions. I want to be as prepared as possible and can find so little on the web.
Thanks in advance and apologise for any errors - my pc has made me type this three times and I'm giving up now![]()
