AliceinWonderland Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Had the phone call today, they are coming Monday!! My first inspection, been waiting for this for a long time. I have seen others post that they received an email, outlining everything the inspector would want to see but I haven't had this, does everyone get an email or does it just depend on the inspector?

eyfs1966 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Hi Pebbles, I posted a copy of my email on an earlier thread which you should be able to find (I think it's in the nursery/childminders section under inspection) If not, let me know and I'll get you a copy. I hope you don't panic too much over the weekend, and wish you all the very best for Monday. My only advice would be stay positive....you'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceinWonderland Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yes I have written all that down thank you, just wondered why I haven't had an email too, but maybe it depends who does the inspection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsp Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Dont forget your EYPP children - how you identify who is eligible, list of children who you have received money for and how that money has been used and the impact on those children's learning/development. (That came from a LA advisor recently). Good luck!! Oh and if the vomiting does occur and you miss the inspector, aim for the staff member who is your weakest link, then send them home to change Lolxx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceinWonderland Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thank you everyone, one quick question, may sound silly. Is the inspector allowed to roam freely? or does she have to be accompanied everywhere as I would if it was anyone else visiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 As long as you have checked them in they are able to roam unaccompanied. They actually have more rights than a police officer, strange I know. However whether you wish to do this is your call I suppose. I would personally still ensure they were supported whilst viewing personal care spaces. Good luck to you and all your team tomorrow. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceinWonderland Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Finally home after a very long day, inspector was lovely, stayed for about 7 hours, unfortunately didn't get what i wanted but could be worse, there were just a couple of very stupid mistakes paperwork wise. All i can do is correct things and hope they come back very soon! thank you to you all for the good wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsp Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You can move forward now without the constant pressure of waiting for the visit! You know what you and your staff do really well for the whole year and not just for those few hours and the difference you make for your children's families. Enjoy your Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceinWonderland Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 thank you, yes there were a lot of positives and it was a higher grade for most things but just these couple of bits of paperwork dragged us down, but at least i know the staff are doing a good job it's just me that let it down and i suppose i'll put that down to lack of experience as this is the first nursery i've owned and my first inspection of this kind (had one as a childminder and ones in schools before).

Fredbear Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Congratulations pebbles133 and your team. Don't knock yourself on the couple of bits either. Another inspector may have scrutinised something very different on another occasion. Now enjoy a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.fx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
