After all that worrying it went really well.

She was really pleased with my paperwork and said that it was brilliant considering how long I have been minding! She liked my RA's and said they where very detailed.
I was a little worried about my christmas tree as I hav tinsel, beads and lights near the bottom but she saw my RA and said its good that you have done a RA for decorations, vry thorough.

She liked what I have in my development records but as I said the other day I was worried that im not doing enough , she said I should try different methods so that I feel comfortale but what I am doing is very good.

She said that my working in artnership with parents is good , this includes daily diary, newsletter , verbal communication and parent questionaires

She said I was calm and patient which she said was brilliant and could see that me and mindee had good relationship with lots of interactiona and eye contact.

I got one recomendation which was to do SEF so got graded GOOD in all but one area.

Overall grade GOOD

Im so pleased with myself and now Im oing to have a well deserved rest over christmas!!!

And thanks to all you guys , I have sat here reading so many posts from this forum which is where I got most of my ideas and tips from. ( I mentioned this to my inspector and she said its brilliant that there is a place to discuss concerns and gain advice from childminders all over .)

Well Done, you did great. I wish I had the same inspector. Mine was very nice and friendly today, but didn't give me any feedback on the things I was doing well. She did however give me feedback on areas I could improve, and then told me how well I had done since my last inspection. She said 'I think you may be doing too much paperwork', and 10 minutes later said, 'you need to evaluate your planning'
I didn't know if I was coming or going! A lovely person, but talk about hot and cold
I'm pleased you got a good straightforward inspector!
