can someone please point me in the direction of a post

someone wrote that she puts in her policies everything that parents money pays for eg training and activities. I am on df's laptop outside (yes lucky me I know) working on my policies, my laptop is very poorly and all my links are on it. luckily all my work was on the external drive so I haven't lost anything. the wireless is really acting up as taking 5 mins to load a page so if some kind person either has it book marked or can search for it faster than me you will be saving my bacon. I have 2 hours to finish my portfolio to hand in for marking and the in laws are 'popping' round too :angry:

I do a list of what the parent's fees cover if that's what you mean?

If so it's ...





So, what exactly is included in my hourly fee?

 Child’s Daily Diary – 0 to 3 years
 Time spent planning activities and themes
 Time spent observing children and completing reports
 Time spent attending training courses in evenings and weekends to ensure up-to-date knowledge of childcare and best practice
 Time preparing items ready for arts and crafts, baking, etc
 Shopping for supplies
 First Aider
 Baby signing
 Time planning for meeting Birth to Three and eventually Early Years Foundation Stage
 Wear and tear to home and belongings
 Increased car insurance – business cover
 Increased home insurance
 NCMA membership
 Ofsted annual fee
 Public liability insurance
 Fees for toddler group
 Petrol for trips to library and park, etc
