    Default Prospects have called

    Had the call from prospects today to see if I am still minding under 5's. (first inspection) How long until Mrs 0 calls roughly in your experience? Are we talking Monday? Or next week? Just asking as after this week that's coming up I'm on holiday for a week!! Really need some quality time with my kids! Paperwork etc pretty much in place so not too worried but know I will stress til Mrs O calls!! just want this over with!

    Thanks all x

    I had a feeling mine would be hols anyway but wanted it done before my holiday so I didn't want to worry about it all week. Good luck when you do eventually get yours

    I had the call 2 weeks ago, but still waiting for the inspector, would have sooner had it before the school holidays as I will be settling in a new child who has special needs, a 6 year old with severe special needs and two 3 year olds who are a right handful at the moment, still she/he will have to put up with me spending time the children instead of them.

    I must admit that when I had my call I told them I was not prepared to be inspected in the school holidays as I felt it was unfair on the children. I also said that the parents expected the children to be taken out every day( as this is what I do) and that it would be breaking my routines.
    They were quite happy with this and came in term time. I was quite prepared for them to come after school to see the older children though.

    Default UPDATE

    Well I has the call today! Mrs P as she is now known is coming In a fortnight! She has been kind enough to give me a date as it's a bit manic as I'm on holiday next week, then the week after we have already booked up til Thursday ( including a trip to Heart Park) week after my main EY child is away for a week. Mrs P was lovely and told me not to worry about SEF as we don't have to had it done and won't be marked down if it's not finished due to being on holiday.

    Any tips as to what they are hot on ATM?

    Thanks

    Jac xx
