Hi everyone !

I'm in the process of applying to register a child minding service. I am in Scotland if that makes a difference.

I've sent off everything I need to and I called the care inspectorate last week, they said they were just passing everything on to an inspector who would be in touch soon to arrange a home visit !

My question is, will they expect my house to be all set up already ? I'm sure in my pack from SCMA , it said you shouldn't start buying / changing things before you are actually registered. But something I read about the pre reg visit today mentioned they will look at availability of toys etc .

We have a spare room which I intend to turn in to a toy/mindees room, right now it's currently filled with random stuff and my other half's gym equipment! Will I have to sort the room out for the visit or will they not expect me to have that sort of thing organised yet??

Thanks in advance !
