My sister has been a childminder for about 10 years, she asked my advice because I also work with children (but I'm not a childminder)
She was looking after some mindees and a 4 year old girl went to the toilet upstairs (there's no downstairs loo).
My sister called the children for dinner and both the 4 year old girl and a 6 year old boy came downstairs together.
My sister asked where the boy was and he said he'd been to the toilet as well. My sister had a chat with them about going separately in the future
Later that evening the 4 year old's mother called to say her dd had told her that the 6 year old boy had pulled down her pants and kissed her 'on her bits' the mum was understandably upset but wondered whether to call the police?
My sister has never had anything like this before and understands it's a safeguarding issue but is unsure what to do?
She will chat boy's parents obviously and to the children about what's appropriate etc but apart from that, what else might you do?
