    Default Inspection next week!

    Hi
    I've got Ofsted coming next week for my 1st inspection and feel physically sick dreading it as I get so nervous with these things!

    I will have 2 after schoolers age 4 and 9 and will also have my 4 children ages 13, 8 ,7, and 18 months. Any ideas on what would be a good activity that I can do with them while she's here?

    The older ones normally play football together in the garden and the 4 year old usually plays with dolls/prams, reads and does arts n crafts, I only have them max 2 hours!

    Thank you

    Has she said if she is coming in the morning or afternoon and did she ask if you need to go out for school runs? Think that if she came in the morning when you get back from school run, she would be finished just after lunch at the latest - longest inspections are about 4 - 5 hours - shortest ones about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

    Or maybe as your mindees are all school children she will come after school - sorry haven't any experience of them inspecting just on the older children. Hope someone else with more knowledge helps you out soon.

    Try to relax and be your normal self with the children - or they will sense something different.

    Remember to show off as much as you can!
