Hi I am looking into buying a first aid kit as I am pre-reg and I want to be ready and prepared.
I have been having a look but all first aid kits vary in contence so i was wondering if there was a specific list of what we have to have.
Also....
What is in your first aid kit?
How many do you have?
Where do you keep it?
Thanks in advance

When i had my pre reg visit about a month ago mrs o said she wasnt really that bothered what was in it as to be honest if the mindees needed some major medical attention that the hospital would do it ! She also said she never checks first aid boxes either !
Mine was all ready in the kitchen and its a 10 man one with loads of things in minus 2 bandages and a triangular one dd1 nabbed to play with ;)

If you click on the first, first aid kit on this link it will list the suggested contents. It is what the National Childminding Assocoation suggest you have.

years ago this was one of the things ofsted looked to see - the contents of your 1st aid box (wish it was still like that) - I got the childminder recommended one from amazon - i used the link from here they also sell one for your car.

This one from the forum shop is OFSTED compliant.
