    Default First inspection am i ready????

    I'm due my first inspection any day they phoned to come out a week ago but I was off that week on holiday, just wondered if there's anything else I need to bit worried about obs and planning

    I basically have a tick list for parents each day, showing them what children have eaten, places we have been, people we have seen etc

    I then have a folder for each mindee which has photos of them and all their work colouring etc.

    I have then a separate EYFS folder with photos of the children and a few sentences under each photo showing the foundation stage it covers and the objective they have achieved.

    I've only been minding for 5 mths so not really into the paperwork side of things yet I just don't have time with my own children too Zzzzz.i

    Is there anything else I need for my inspection?

    Xx

    Have you worked through this checklist showing the main changes to the EYFS?

    Don't worry Sarah have managed to print it now.

    Just wondered though does the same apply to Wales? Also I only had my pre reg in November and nothing was picked up then or told to change so does that mean I'm up to date as these changes came out in sep?????

    I haven't got everything on the check list mind you

    Thank you

    I know it was the longest 4 hours ever!! And the looking around the house part only took about 15 minutes it was actually like a 4 hour interview so glad it's over now and happy that the inspector was so nice and pleased with my answers to all of her questions! God knows what the grading inspections will be like don't even want to think about it lol x x
