Registered Childminder at last!

[Katiekoo]

Yey, I finally got my registration through! Woo hoo! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
They approved me on Friday but the Certificate isn't here yet, they emailed me confirmation.
This whole process has felt like leaping from one terrifying ordeal to another!Now for the next scary ordeal - settling in sessions. I'm quite prepared for looking after other peoples children, what I'm worried about is looking after other peoples children in front of them! They could be thinking " ooh I don't hold him like that, mind his head, don't let him chew that". I am just fretting!:blush:
I've got my first settling in session on Thursday where we'll also be going through paperwork.
I'm sure it will be ok really, just thought I'd be more relaxed than this!

Now while I'm here - have i got all the paper work I need to get started?;
Contracts (ncma),
Child Record Forms (ncma),
Information for Childminder - emergency contacts, likes/dislikes etc (my own),
Permissions form; suncream, emergency childcare, emergency medical, car, outings, walking, first aid kits, photos.
Emergency cards to carry in purse,
Copy of Policies,
Certificates - just to show.

Anything I've missed?
Actually I'm getting more excited now :D
