im doing a 5 yr dgre with open ni, first year was health and sicail care, this year childhood and youth studies, next year is the EYFS year after is mental healt, i not chosen last year!

Good luck, I did mine over 4 nights (3-4hrs per night) and even then I could have written more but I just lost the will to live.

im going to do my best no inspection date but had phone call and told to expect a call anyday to arrange ARGH!

Good luck!
Remember, the inspector wont expect you to have completed the SEF, so do what you can, well, and don't worry about filling it all in!
It is a working document so they don't mind if its not complete, as long as they can see that you have made a start on it, to show you are evaluating yourself and your setting they should be happy!
Thats what our inspector told us, and we didn't complete ours, but were graded 'outstanding'!

Good luck love.

I have refused to do mine, it is a bloody waste of time, it repeats and repeats itself. till in the end you talk gobbidigook to yourself.

Good Luck.

I got my phone call today and she is coming w/c 26 May.

I haven't started my SEF yet, gulp!!

Oh, forgot to add - she wanted to come next week. Thank goodness I am not minding or I would have been in for an interesting weekend

Hayley whats the practice guidance book?

Started mine ages ago, still not finished and it says the same thing over and over again. I must get it done though I'm due in June so not long to go now.

You can download it from the Ofsted website.
It is a guidence booklet to help you answer each question in the SEF.
