i have a friendship wall with photos of all the chidlren on surrounded by their paintings of butterflies, handprints and flowers, i have ncma book register, not signed, as was sucha mess when one mimindee started as her hours chopped and changed?!...i have also changed room that we use for overnight care...dya think it would be best if i send them letter with photos this week, then at least i can say they should have it if she query's it??
my file is getting finishing touches to chenges tonight, i dont have a pre medication form so will have a look at that site..erm erm...

Does that work for you? Otherwise, i have it if you want me to email it to you?

No, a folder for complaints. Go to their site and see if you can find it under that National standards, OCt 2005 addendum. print off a load and put in in a binder labelled Complaints.

Um, the Parent poster needs to be up..

Signed register, medical forms, policies, outings etc Umm Ummmm...

Pictures of all the lovely things you have done, though my inspector never asked for it.

Don't worry, just relax on the day as much as poss, be friendly and open and your relationship with your mindees will show. Try not to worry.

Policies
Signed register
Signed accident/medication book. Make sure the very front page has been signed by parents re: emergency treatment (I missed this to start with)
Mindee Files - confidentially put away (have they signed to agree policies etc?)
Permission Forms
Birth to Three Matters (stick the poster up if you have it and say you are waiting to go on course)
Make sure you're changing your towels every day
All cupboard locks/stair gates etc in place

Let me think of other stuff
