Hi, I'm new to the forum & thought I'd introduce myself- im a recently registered childminder, and have been minding for 3 months! I had my first inspection today and it was no where near as bad as I expected. I got an overall 'good' which I am really pleased about. I didn't fill out a SEF - but I had read through questions and had a good knowledge of what might be asked. Tips: make sure all paperwork are up to date, risk assessments signed and dated with renewal dates. Carry out a fire drill! The little boy I mind is scared of the fire alarm (it's so loud) he was the one who said 'smoke alarm goes off' then she asked what we should do when it goes off a…

First Inspection On Tuesday

Ofsted is coming at 1 on Tuesday. I was told that they don't usually give the exact day or time, but she was because I don't have any full-time children and the ones I have come and go at different times. So at least I know when. The panic is starting to kick in now. I haven't completed my SEF yet. I've started it but haven't finished it. Do I plow ahead with it and fill in sections properly which may mean I have blank sections or do I try to get something rough in all areas? Or do I leave it as it is and focus on improving my learning journals and organizing my resources and mowing the lawn? I don't know what's best to do anymore. :blink:

We have been expecting Ofsted now since the beginning of February 2012 and really did expect to have seen them by now. It is now mid May and although it "keeps us on our toes" so to speak, it is still rather nerve racking!! After reading also that suitable persons might be abolished from September 2012, and our new manager has also been expecting one for a while also, it was rumoured they would carry out this suitable persons during our inspection, it is really looking like they might not actually come until after the changes? Otherwise is their "much" point, has i would imagine they need to re-visit once the changes has been implemented? I could be totally wrong,…

The school have kindly just informed us they will have Ofsted in from tomorrow, so as we are on the school site we will be getting a visit too. Not the greatest time as we have a new leader(2 months) and 3 new staff members(1 week). Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.

Well we were just welcoming the children in this morning and ofsted turn up to do our first inspection! It went brilliantly, she was lovely and got involved with the children and joining in the activities. We passed with satisfactory and elements of good! I'm so relieved it's over as we only opened in September and we were worrying about them coming.
