mainly talked about making room safe fire risks and prevention and bedding towels toiletries (health and hygiene) and baby monitors night light etc. security. not having anyone over 16 in house without a CRB check. concentrated on overnight specifically as general daily childminding risk assessments are already covered. I keep it oin a folder with overnight policy and questionnaire.

Hi i am also registering for overnight care .
Does the child need a bedroom to themselves or can children share bedrooms ?
Thank you

Well that depends on which ofsted inspector you get. I think that they like to see that the children staying overnight have a proper bed if not in a cot, rather than a mattress on the floor or ready bed blown up. I've just asked my DW (ex ofsted) to clarify on separate bedrooms for me, as I do have a separate one but the Lo I have would rather be in my girl's room with them!
