[Shoshe]

Arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg. She better come today!

Oh and Goodmorning ladies

Morning all

I have a new mindee starting today, and have no idea how im going to concentrate. I am so excited about Obama, and keep crying

If your inspector comes today, she may well be so happy that you get an outstanding, Shoshe

Morning, thanks for the update abba - haven't turned the tv on yet!!

Coffee on, expresso for shoshe to keep her going!! Bacon, eggs, fried bread (not having a healthy day today), tomatoes, mushrooms......

Thank you for all of your help yesterday with the policies. I finally got it sort of finished at 11pm last night, and then the printer ran out of black ink, so off to tesco this am to get ink, paper, files etc etc etc. Only good thing is that I'm not working today until 3pm , so am going to do bits with ds3 and 4!

Calm, calm

It will be over soon

Busy day today

Morning!

The waiting must be a real pita, Shoshe. I hate that part!

DS has already had a screaming fit about not wanting to get up. He is 4 so needs more sleep obviously. I reckon I may go to bed tonight with him at 7!

Tulip31, I am busy updating my policies too, with a view to getting my SEF done.

Yipeeeeeeeeee DH has been away a month in Germany, was expecting him home late tonight, he has just phoned to say he is on the M25!!!!

How much do you want to bet he will get home as the Inspector turns up!

Morning everyone.

Sounds like it might be the morning Shoshe. In 1 way I do hope so as they ask you to carry on as if they are not there but when you normally go out for the morning how is it normal to keep the mindees in all day until they visit!

I have brought in lots of hot chocolate to share as I am still trying to shift this cold.

Hi everyone.

So pleased about obama

I have 7 more pieces of NVQ work to do!!

DS trying to debate with me about going to nursery. He likes mummy the best, he doesn't like his friends his teacher is scary and so on.

Morning everyone. Hope you get your inspection out of the way today. At least you can look forward to your DH coming home.

Has anyone any other ideas what crafts to do for Guy Fawkes night other than painting and making rockets. Bearing in mind it has to be suitable for 3 under 5's.

Hope you all have a good day

Morning all.

Hope Ofsted come today shoshe! The waiting around for them is the worst part! And how lovely that DH is coming home earlier than thought

Hope DS goes to nursery ok for you Sammy!

I am taking mindees out this morning with a couple of other minders. I am finishing early today too as am off out to the theatre in London later with some people I used to work with before minding! Can't wait to do something 'adult' (although seeing Grease doesn't really count as 'adult' really )

Oh Nooooo!!!

Ofsted coming

I was planning on tackling EYFS next week, after NVQ stuff finsished, need to update policies, implement EYFS, give house a good going over. Argh!

Sammy! Have you got updated handbook, do you want mine? (or do you want to see what Ofsted say about it first)

Oh yes please I would love it! Thankyou. Do you still have my email?

Might not have time to wait they may come to me tomorrow! Sure yours is fab anyway.

Sammy I havnt email me nanny 475 at hotmail dot com

why why why why why are we (ME!!)so terrified of OFSTED!!!!!?????

every time I hear that someone is being inspected i start hyperventilating!!!

i am so paranoid about getting That Call. My stuff is not up to date yet and I am about 8 months away from being due for inspection.

Sammyk, is your inspection now bang on 3 years or thereabouts???

Sammy have found a Lycos adress for you sent to that, is this right?

shoshe have sent you an offline message on windows messenger.

My insoection is long overdue no4, was 3 years in may! Been waiting for call but hoping I had next week to get all my paperwork up to date!

Just typed ofsted into my pone and it came up as nerved

LOL!!! Ofsted / nerved!

does anyone have the link o childminding SEF form to download and print?? Can only see school ones.

Sammy didnt get message, my MSN is on.

oooooooooo good morning fellow childminders (can I say that now even thought first mindee doesnt start till Monday )

I've had a phone call this morning, they are coming one day next week . Need to update policies, put obs in some sort of order andsort the house out. Not much to do

Just posted on Facebook - I'm getting really worried now. Was going to come in and moan about my crappy H and how I feel I can't get on top of it all now and I just know that Ofsted are going to spring an inspection on me soon. When was your last one saz? Good luck! x

Bloody hell they are doing the rounds!

Not here tho, arrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

Sounds like they tried to call me earlier, I'm still avoiding the phone!
