If you made your own register? How many children per page?

[leeloo1]

Well the title says it all really, I've been using the NCMA register, and with only 1/2 children its been fine, but pretty soon will have 4-5 and would rather have 1 page per week/month for all children, but is it a data protection issue if they see each other's signing in info?

So... what does your register look like?

I just have the children due that day on a page (but I do have lots)

Ok, thanks. Do you do 1 page per week?

I'm trying to cut down on the number of bits of paper, but can't quite work out how!?

Oh and is it a requirement that they're signed? I just found one on the Bromley pages and that didn't seem to have space for signatures...

I do a page a day (so 5 a week) & I get the parents to sign the children in & out with the times they actually arrive & leave

I have a week to a page, 4 children on a page and they write times in and out and sign

hth

Mine are written in a diary each day. Arrival and departure times. Inspectors don't care that they're not signed by parents, but for your own safety it is probably a good idea to get parents to sign them in and out.

I have 6 to a page, morning and afternoon sections, and the parents sign their own children in and initial.

The folder sits by the front door with a clock above it.

This all sounds really helpful thanks. Would anyone mind sending me their sheets please?

My address is northlondonchildminder (at)yahoo.co.uk

Many thanks in advance.

Sent a blank one through

Hi AWNW, Thanks for that, but I haven't received it.

parents dont have to sign.. not a requirment.. but Ofsted are hot on EXACT arrival and departure times which always vary slightly from you contracted hours.

I have a month spread sheet for each child and sign every day. parents not involved.

I have a page per child per month, just to be different!
