I am a newly registered childminder and have been approached by a lady who has a 7 year old, so will be after school pick up and keep until 7! What sort of paperwork do I do for this age? Am I right in thinking that learning journeys, obs etc are only necessary for the early years? Thanks Leah

Well done for working 'till 7 but no need for journals and such -if I have older ones in the holidays, I take photos and send to the parents :thumbsup:

Yeah 7 is a bit later than I wanted to but didn't want to turn my first mindee away!
That's brill thanks, I'm guessing its quite easy to have the older ones then as no paperwork to do in the evenings x

You need to comply with the requirements of the Childcare Register -

Ofsted | Factsheet: childcare - Requirements for the Childcare Register: childminders and home childcarers (http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/factsheet-childcare-requirements-for-childcare-register-childminders-and-home-childcarers)
