First Graded Insection due this week

[TraceyC]

It's my first graded inspection this week. Very typical that it would be half term and my 3 children aged 5,4 and 22 months will be present. I am only looking after a 9 month old this week on Wed and Thur all day and the inspector asked me if I could have any of my other children present (the other children are term time only). The inspection will either be this week Wed or Thur or anytime next week. Feel very nervous - have done lots of paperwork and planning but I still feel inexperienced.... The inspector is the same inpsector who did my pre reg in August and she was very nice - pulled me up on a few things but very constructive. I am worried that my children will play up, expect the tv to be on and beg for biscuits all morning. Is this how you all fetl?

I had Ofsted ring me today, but just to check what mindees I have on which days. The 'proper' call will come next month. As she was talking I was thinking, oh no not my inspection yet!

Good luck with yours
