Hiya, I have been off of Childminding for 7 months with my 2nd DS, can't believe where the time has gone!

Has anything changed recently? Im just wondering what I need to get done, if anyone can think of anything else please so let me know:

risk assesments to re-done
Get registers, planning, observation forms, diaries, checklists, contracts etc. sorted.
Do the forms with parents this week, then the settling in sessions the following week
Sort through toys for all odd bits and bobs and rotate toys and age appropriate ones out
Ring environmental health to inform them of working as they came to inspect whilst on maternity leave, I wont be provding food but will be heating it and storing so guess I need to record fridge temperature and probe the food.
Pay the Ofsted fee that Ive been meaning to do all week!
I really need to get an A4 diary or something to put childminding stuff in as I feel so disorganised!
Inform Ofsted of returning date




One more thing, I really hope I do not need a permission form for this, but Im still breastfeeding DS 7 months and have said this to the parent who is supportive in many ways - I am so lucky to have this family - please do not tell me I need to add this to my parental permission form lol

I am pretty sure you won't need permissions :D

Good luck on your return, you seem to have listed everything you will need :thumbsup: x

No, I wouldn't dream of getting permission to breastfeed my own child!

Good luck with everything

It sounds like you are organised!

Check the local safeguarding children board / child protection agency phone numbers and names... some have changed.

Good luck with it all :D
