Childminder pre-registration visit...

Just wondering how much notice current childminders got from the inspector before their pre-registration visit? Currently going through the application process and haven’t heard anything yet but getting nervous that they’ll come at some terribly inconvenient time over Christmas/New Year! Also, are you allowed to refuse the visit and rearrange if you have plans to be away with your family? Advice appreciated. Thank you!

I would have thought the inspectors will be off over Christmas/new year so I wouldn’t worry too much about them coming over the festive period. I have no idea on ‘the rules’ about pre-inspection visits, as I’ve been registered a long time, but I guess if you are on holiday you can ask them to reschedule. It would be pointless them turning up and you being in Menorca or wherever.
