I've been doing overnight care for about 6 years now and usually have much older ones, generally over 6yrs.
I've just taken on a new mindee overnight, he is 11 months old. I'm a bit confused on how many checks i should be doing with him through the night, should i be setting my alarm to check on him?
When I had my very first inspection years ago i remember ofsted telling me that i should be checking on sleeping children at least every 15 minutes and recording this. This is not a problem for daytime naps, but what about overnight?
