Childminders - What do you display?

[chicaguapa]

I have so far got my Registration certificate and Insurance certificate. What else should I have on display?

I look after 2 friends' children but want to have it all set up for my first 'proper' inspection. I intend to put it on a pin board which I can get out in the mornings and hang in the hallway.

OFSTED complaints poster

Birth to three stuff?

not sure really

I have ofsted poster and registration cert, insurance, evacuation and fire safety policy, house rules and when it stops falling off the fridge, what we are doing/eating that week as well.

i have reg certificate and ofsted complaint poster on disply
also have weekly menu
parents info board

have first aid cert, liabillty insurance etc etc in a folder which is available to anybody to veiw

I have reg cert, what we've had for lunch that day (wipe clean board), plans for the week (outing wise), a chart so all parents can see who is here when, any interesting newspaper articles, safety leaflets, etc. Have also drawn 2 lines on door frame showing minimum safe height and minimum recommended height for booster seats, and a poster about new laws.

Oh, and complaints poster, complaints/concers/compliments book, house rules.

That should say 'concerns'!

I display a stunning number of fingerprints and scrapes along walls at the same height as the handles on my sit'n'ride vehicles.

Blodwen, i like ur idea for drawing the lines to show heights for booster seats. gonna use that, thanks.

I display reg certificate, insurance, complaints procedure, menu for week, my planned holidays for the year, fire escape plan, my weekly routine,birth to three chart, daily safety checklist, and a number of posters, leafltes on various subjects.

pmsl @ prisoner!

i wish i had the wall space to display everythig you do loulou!

Yeah, it does take a bit of space, but most of it's in the lobby as the parents come in, and i have a few of the posters up in the passage way, along with photos of smiling faces of all my children (my own & minded)on a paper birthday train along the opposite wall!
