Ofsted inspection - will the staff room be saturated with treats??

I'm a community governor for a small primary, and the school is having their ofsted inspection this week.

Will be going in to meet inspectors with other governors later in the week, but wondered if it would be a yay or nay to pop in first thing tomorrow with some staff room treats?
Want staff to know we're supporting them - but equally don't know if they might get the same from every member of leadership and it just be a waste. Would appreciate a teacher's insight!

We would be very appreciative!

I’d put them in there. Staff would appreciate them!

Teachers always appreciate staff room treats. No amount is too many!

It’s a lovely gesture.

Thanks all - will drop in on my way to work 😊

We would be very grateful indeed, and absolutely over the moon if you included some fruit in addition to any chocolate or biscuits!

Staff always appreciate that people are thinking of them

Our governors gave us fruit and (fancy) biscuits last time. SLT took us all out for a meal (small school) once it was over.

I made cake & took it in on day 2 when I went to meet the inspector. Apparently there was loads of stuff on day 1, so taking something fresh on day 2 was much appreciated.

But I agree with everyone else - anything and everything will be gratefully received. Knowing you're thinking about them and have got their backs (as shown by biscuits) will be hugely appreciated.

Bit late to the party, but in one of my last schools we got a pizza delivery the night before the big O, in anticipation of many staff staying late to keep preparing. It was a nice touch.
