I AGREE with smeeinit..i sooo dont want to have do more paperwork..i want to concentrate on having fun with the kids..not worry about have i done observations linked to EYFS FGS!! plus the planning..i dont reallyplan..well not on paper anyway..i have tow under ones..do you really think im going to do planning as in ok its autumn..what shall we do children? hand painting,glueing leaf prints..they eat the paint, they eat the leaves and glue and generally only want to run around practising their new walking skills.. I generally watch what they prefer to do or what takes their interest and elaborate on that in as much as i can with littlies..my friend had hers last week and she found it very intensive and she kept on about paperwork,paperwork,paperwork all the tim e..not what she was actually doing with the kids and said she had good but still had a lot to work on ..she is a brilliant childminder and had everything up to spec but she still pulled her up about a lot of things..to be honest when they call me i shall tell the truth!!! i havent even done the EYfs course or read anything about it[ ive been on maternity leave and trust me had better things to do with my time!!] Iam not going to kill myself and ruin the enjoyment of looking after kids just because OFSTED said so..arrggh!!!im sooo annoyed thinking about it..oh by the way the inspector said more things were going to change again but wouldnt elaborate!!! To b honest i think i will give up childminding and be a cleaner!!!more money per hour thank you and no paperwork....!!! sorry for the long rant

How much training have you had?

If you haven't had much (esp if it's not avail) I think you could fudge it

But next inspection you would be in trouble tbh

This isn't something you can chose not to do - it is legislative
