Hi all

I have been reading lots of posts and getting some great info. My worry is my garden.

I was told you don't actually NEED a garden? Is that right? I do have a garden but it is not suitable for use at present.

You step out of my back door onto a decked area (which is a good size and it is level with the door, no steps). It is fenced off from the rest of the garden and behind the gate there are 2 shallow steps down to a grassed area (but its not really usable - we intend to top soil and turf it next year). So I will only allow access to the deck at present. There is a huge playing field opposite my house and ample local parks which I would use.

Is this going to be sufficient or will it go against my registration??

Do a risk assessment on your garden and write it up as unsuitable at the moment. Then write up what you will do to make it safe etc

many CM have no garden to use (live in a flat/unsafe garden) you need to show how and where the children will get outside time and fresh air and exercise.

shouldn't be a problem
