    Default PREPARING FOR YOUR OFSTED VISIT

    A great booklet that helps you if you are just about to register

    Also helpful if you are already minding and filling in your SEF it helps you think about some of the questions and how you might answer them

    Also handy if you are due a Ofted visit these are some of the questions that they may ask you

    Edit by Pauline: This booklet is now out of date so I have removed it, latest version is in the free downloads, link at the top of the forum.

    I think this questionnaire is more geared towards those doing PRE-registration visits.

    That's why I am still doing mine.

    But I know nothing about SEFs so maybe still helpful ?

    Thanks Angel.

    Don't forget there are also various booklets on the free downloads:

    I will add this one too later, so that we can find it easily in the future.
