ofsted
 

please help just after some conformation from childminders out their exactly what paper work ofsted need to see.should be having my ofsted check soon and i get abit nervous about it, after 15 years i should be used to it but i still get flustered.just need a checklist.spoken to my development officer and because i could not afford to pay the council for her services i only get one visit a year and 2 emails a year from her. you may think that is harsh but beware other councils around the country are jumping on the band wagon.
hope someone can help.
thanks

there are loads of childminder forums on the net www.childminderforum is a good one and your ncma membership gives loads of advice and pro forma policies etc.
councils arent jumping on a bandwagon you are running a business councils dont support any other businesses why yours? they need to put their money where its needed
