Hi all
Just wanted to let you know I had my visit today and it went extremely well. The woman I got was really nice and had me totally at ease (which was good cause was quite nervous before she came). Had all my policies etc ready which she was really chuffed about as she thought she would be waiting on me to do them. Said I was very well organised etc and could see the certificate being done in the next couple of weeks. Gave me a few pointers of things to change (ie put down some phone nos etc) but apart from that the only thing I need to do is write a trampoline policy, apply for my insurance and let her know it is done. She didn't ask what toys etc I had or wanted to see them so was ok on that front. She went over some standards and the new grading system that's coming but all in all I am almost at the finishing line of becoming a childminder.
Thanks for all your help and support. I'm sure I'll be a regular for more advice in the coming months. (Although don't know where I'll find the time, getting on just now with only caring for my 7 month old adn 6 year old is hard enough).
