I had my first inspection today! I have been rated good!
I am really pleased with this result, especially given the circumstances. I have had one new mindee start every week in January and an assistant too. One mindee (started late Jan) isn't completely settled yet and we had FIVE under 3's here this morning as well as two before school children.
I was told by the inspector that first inspections don't get outstanding so clearly even if there were any aspects (I am saying IF by the way, there may not have been any) that were better than good then I wouldn't have been awarded them.
Things to work on:
*Separate hand towels for each child (that means 9 hand towels / day!!! Where do I store them?)
*Working with other agencies (I have had meetings with my 3 yr old's nursery but that is not enough - will ask this question on another thread)
*Not just doing multicultural activities (as was recognised that I do), ensuring I do activities from the cultures of the children I mind (most of whom I've only been minding since Jan!)
When do we get inspected next?
