What to expect on your first ofsted visit?

[l16bxt]

Hey guys any tips on how my first ever visit will go and what to expect? I am really nervous as you can imagine... I know I have to know all about my safety measures ect. But I'm just really nervous 😬

Is it your pre reg visit So you can become a childminder or first actually inspection once registered?

It's to be fine a registered childminder huni x

*to be come

Have you looked at Ofsted information booklet preparing for your registration visit?

lol yes done all this I just wanted to know any tips or what to expect rather than going of a booklet 😊

It’s been a while since my pre reg, but I do remember them checking you had the safety locks etc on bins, checked my garden was safe, read through my risk assessments, but it was very relaxed and just like a chat. Questions around safe guarding knowing the signs of abuse, prevent duty, peer to peer, internet safety, etc probably good idea to know about covid symptoms and what you would do if child developed symptoms etc

Mine also checked my smoke alarms, just remembered that has my downstairs one broke that morning would not stop beeping so used upstairs one, she must have made a note because on my 1st inspection they checked I did have two.

Good luck xx

@Apple40 thank you so much that puts my mind at easy knowing it's relaxing there's nothing worse then that anxious feeling in your tummy. Have a lovely evening 😊xx
