    Default My first inspection this Thursday!

    I just had a call from my Ofsted inspector. He is coming on Thursday, and it is hilarious because I went to Ikea this weekend and bought loads and loads of stuff, including 2 expedit with boxes to go in my lounge for storing toys.

    I have no mindees today so have put all the shelves up and taken all my resources out of the storage room to sort through. I can't see my carpet for all this stuff, it is absolutely everywhere, and I get the call!

    Oh well, I have also got my childminder co-ordinator coming tomorrow afternoon and I still haven't done all the things I was meant to do for her!

    Do you think I might deserve a drink on Thursday evening?!

    Wish me luck please!

    Good luck! You sound very organised anyway but I had mine last week and know what a relief it is to get it out of the way. Hope all goes well

    good luck.
    Im waiting for the call, and feel more nervous now than ever. I do want it over but I am so worried. I am no good at all in these situations.

    Thanks guys.

    I actually know this inspector, he did my pre reg and also inspected me at the nursery a couple of years ago too. We usually end up having interesting discussions so I'm not too nervous.

    The main problem is I haven't finished my SEF yet! Looks like a late night tonight!

    I hope they call you soon Tomnbeccs, I actually feel better today since I know it will be over at the end of the week.

    Good luck to you too Welshcake, nice to have an "inspection buddy"! We can compare notes over a glass of wine on Thursday night!

    Good luck, mine was cancelled last week and will be this week as inspector on annual leave over Easter
    I feel ok and organised then keep thinking I've missed something really obvious
