I do mine separately but that was what I was told to do by the NCMA

Others put all their on one.

This has been debated many times on the forum and there are lots of different replies.

I have my own sheet, I sign the children in and out during the day and I put all the names on one sheet each week. Ofsted didn't have any problem with it at my last inspection - they were more concerned that times are recorded accurately, to the minute not nearest 5 minutes.

ooh dont know wat to do i need to start a fresh 1 n dont know whether im ok using these new MM ones or sticking to my original n wasting my money :panic:

I would advise that you speak to MM!!

Certainly don't waste your money if they are not fit for use then you should ask for a full refund.

My understanding is that each child needs a separate sheet for confidentiality.

Hth :D

i thought one per sheet:blush:

Hi
I use MM ones and I only put 1 name on each sheet but I just photocopy the blank sheets so I don't have to buy anymore.

I use the SCMA one which is all on one sheet.

I use a book, they all go on one page, I sign them in and out Ofsted and my DO was fine with this.

I do all my 9 children on one sheet! always have. Ofsted have checked this every time they have come and been fine with it.

Hth :D

Schools only have one register per class so is the confidentiality aspect down to how the register is filled in/who has access to it - if the teacher fills it in and it's not open to parents is that deemed to be confidential enough?

Just a thought.......................

I use MM ones, but I do only have one child :). Instead of using them weekly I've been using them monthly. So one side of a sheet lasts for a month.

If and when I do get more children will carry on using one sheet permonth for each child.
