Hi all, I'm very much a newbie to the forum and hope you don't mind me asking for help so quickly
I'm in the process of registering (crb,health dec and references all received) and hoping to soon have my pre reg inspection. I have laminate flooring all downstairs and not sure if I need to do a policy.
Currently we don't remove our shoes straightaway as it's not something I worry about as I can clean the floor should anything be tramped in. I also don't insist that visitors remove theirs. My house is v.v.small so I don't have a rug down as it would swamp the place and I think should my kids fall over they can hurt themselves just as badly on carpet as they can on laminate.
Is this something ofsted will frown upon? Also do I need a policy? I'm thinking of getting some foam mats should I look after any babies/new walkers but to be totally honest I would rather not as I have to be a bit savvy with storage and space.
Any help would be much appreciated :-)
