Hi!
Sorry, i'm sure you've all had hundreds of posts like this, but I've just had the call to say that they are coming on THURSDAY!! I thought that I was prepared as much as I could be but now i'm second guessing myself. The lady said to have everything in place as much as possible, but then she said that she gave a "not suitable" to someone the other day because they didn't have their first aid kit to hand. She then said that the lady sent in evidence a few days later showing it now ready so the decision was overturned. My thinking was that if the intent was there, such as these are the stairs gates i'm going to use or this is the car seat i'm going to get then that would all be taken into consideration?
I believe I've got everything in place knowledge wise and documentation wise but I will be going all over that again before Thursday. Do I need to have printed copies of my consent forms/contracts/policies etc? or is it suitable to just show them on the laptop or confirm that I have them? I have no problem printing them out but I just want to be sure.
My theory currently is to over prepare and expect the worst, rather than not prepare and expect to sail through it!
I wouldn't be so worried but she seemed very straight laced on the phone, didn't laugh at anything etc so that's concerned me. Plus i feel like this is my one and only shot at becoming a childminder and i've got everything riding on it, literally my life and my house etc is riding on me passing.
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!
Sorry for the long, ranty post! If anyone can please provide me with as much evidence as possible for their registration inspections I would owe you everything!
I might even bake the inspector a cake!!
TIA! xx
