I had mine couple of months ago and I know how you feel. EYFS seems scary but my ofsted inspector said for childminders it's not complusory to have all the planning, observations and assessments written. I gave her my planning sheets which i'd tried to link to eyfs but she didn't really look at them (gutted!) she was more interested in talking to me and wanting me to tell her how i'd planned for individual children based on their interests and stage of development - this is stuff we do without thinking about normally so perhaps just try and give it a little bit of thought beforehand. One thing that is compulsory on eyfs is written risk assessments on your house, garden and outings. I went on the ofsted website beforehand and looked at a few random childminders reports just to give me an idea of what they would be looking for. Hope this helps and it all goes well.
