    Default SEF shall i start it now?

    Hi guys

    I was registered beg of feb but only starting minding this thurs, i'm all sorted with paperwork etc, but haven't done my sef yet as thought surely i need to have been minding for a bit so that i can say what i do etc etc, but i'm also aware that they could turn up at anytime, i will be minding just thurs and fri till sept when i'll then be full time, shall i start it now? think i'm prob just putting it off as i've had a quick peep at it and it seems never ending! i have got sarahs e book though so am hoping that'll help me! how long did it take you guys, and is it true it shortens the time the inspector stays if you've done one.

    xx

    My inspector stayed over 4 hours and I had done half of my on-line SEF - although I know (hope) Ofsted won't be coming again for a few years I intend to finish my SEF and regularly update it - hoping to cut down inspection time next time.

    So using Sarah's books start on SEF soon as it does take longer than you think - some people managed to do theirs in Word and copy it onto online SEF - but I didn't manage to do that.

    Good luck
