I opened a pre-school three and a half years ago so my experience isn`t as up to date as others may be. However two inspectrors came and looked around the building (an empty hall!) and talked to us about the set up and our qualifications and experience. It was all pretty informal and relaxed. My epereicenc of OFSTED since then has not changed. They are of little help when it comes to actually running a setting and are usless for info. We never had a proper registration certificate for example and this was not picked up untill our first inspection 3 years later. I would advise you to join the PSLA (Pre-School Learning Alliance) they have been the best help I have found.
Just have your national standards and ensure you comply with all of them. I sat down and went through them producing a document stating how we cover all of them. I found this the best way to ensure you have covered everything and are ready for any questions.
Good Luck.
