really does depend on inspector while supposed to be all similar they do have their own individual traits. Ours spent a long time with members of staff asking about things like child protection and policies on sick children. she did not ask me any of these things going to staff instead.
Second day she went though our recruitment process, how we vet new staff, Crb checks and what we do with them , big thing for her was how do we ensure staff remain suitable persons for the job, how do we monitor this and record it, who does this,
I assume she has already looked at things like accident books, registers, any risk assessments etc
not forgetting the complaints file and how you allow parents have access to these records.
she did ask staff lots of questions during the session, some on curriculum how we plan it, how we link observations to planning, how we plan
we are accredited so I gave her the folder to take home at the end of he first day and she came back the next stating we were actually progressing and developing our practise and she could see that in this.
showed her lots of Photos too which helped
good luck for tomorrow
just remember they are there to improve your practice and while it may seem they are judging you this is not really the purpose of the inspection.
I always view it as a way to improve my practice and care of the children, and also a celebration of what you can and are doing well.
