Will i get away with saying 'refer to........'?? Am bloody sick of repeating myself on this. Got till tomorrow night to submit online and cant submit an incomplete document. Just printed it off and it's already 12 pages long - still got about a 1/3 of it to go . Surely inspectors reading it will fall asleep before they get to the end?1?

Swore at computer when I looked at the feedbck questionnaire - 'How long did it take you to complete?'- surely they meant more than 24 hrs not 4

Have just put in 'priorities for improvement' 'Refer to previous section'! Don't care anymore

Giving up in September when DS goes to school looking good at this moment in time..........

Just hope inspector 'nice' next week! Not a good week for an inspection - raging hormone week . Might get struck off for attitude

underpaid, I was at a childminder network meeting recently and we were advised that it is acceptable to state "refer to...." etc.

I have only done 2 blocks so far and that took me two hours!

hope you get sorted

Gave up at 11.30 last night. Dreamt about Ofsted all night - how sad is that?? Still got Learning and Development to do tonight, then going to open fridge and choose between white or rose!! . Have no mindees tomorrow so don't feel guilty.

Must contact the cm in 'Who Minds' this quarter who filled in her SEF in 1 1/2 hours and find out how she did it!!! ...

Just pressed the 'submit' button - too late to go back now!

Anyone else filling this in at the moment, download 'Being self-reflective...' from the NCMA website - it simplifies some of the areas, wish had found it sooner!

Thanks again KatyMac - I still love you
