Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section - Im new around here :)
Im currently well into the process of registering as a childminder (pre reg visit complete, awaiting CRB's) & have two children of my own - aged 9mth and 3yr.
I am gathering useful resources together, and trying to 'sort' through what I already have. I was wondering is it ok to buy second hand equipment and resources? My children have always had new, but I was wandering round the car boot the other week thinking it would be sooo much cheaper to buy second hand. Is this frouned upon by ofsted? Obviously I would check all toys for safety before using them
Thanks in advance x
