She's been!!!

[tash1508]

Well have just had my pre-reg visit!
What a lovely lady she was, really nice put me totally at ease.
I was really nervous but didnt need to be she said I had gone over and above what was required so I am feeling all please with myself now!
This is what happened:
She arrived at 11am, walked her round the areas I will be using to mind. She asked me things about security, safety outside etc. Made us a cuppa and sat down in playroom to start. She checked my ID and CRB checks.
She went through questions booklet picking out as we went along what questions she wanted me to answer - but she didnt ask every single one of them!
She looked through my policies, risk assessments and all other bits I have prepared like menus, welcome packs etc.
She really was nice, we chatted about lots of things in general - not just childminding ha ha!
She has just left said she was really impressed and thinks I will make a wonderful childminder! I am so happy I could cry!
Was here just under 2 hours so not too bad at all.
Hope this help anyone waiting for their visit
