Right so I have my first Ofsted Inspection sometime this week so far I have my handbook written complete with policies, observations written with photos and linked to EYFS, risk assessments completed, contracts completed and child records, attendance book, visitors book.
Am I ready then, have I missed anything vital that I really need??

I found that I had not planned lunch properly. I underestimated how much time it would take to be interviewed and interrupted etc. I suggest making something that you can either just pop into the oven for the children for lunch, or have ready whatever you would normally give them.

you must have on display:

registration cert, most recent ofsted poster with the new number on it

First Aid cert

Floor plan with evacuation routes clearly marked

you could have on display or in a file:

any certs you have achieved like food safety

house rules

local safeguarding procedure

copy of car insurance showing business use

public liability cert

Have you done a fire drill and logged it?

Have you been checking the smoke alarms weekly and logging it?

Have you been able to make a start on your SEF?

Make sure that you ask for ID before admitting the inspector
