    Smile How am I doing?

    Hi Everyone,

    I've had a busy evening of making my website and my welcome pack. This is all very new to me, and I've been umming and arrring about what I should have and what I shouldn't, so please take a look and see what you think!

    Thank you. I didn't have a clue what I was doing but it was actually quite easy. I used Microsoft office small business, it's free and if you have a hotmail or a live email account you can just log in and do it from there. It was pretty good as it doesn't have any adverts. I had tried another one previously and it had really dodgy pop up adverts that were not appropriate!

    Thank you all for the feedback, I have now added some photos too. Although they are only of things I have been doing with my own children as I am still awaiting my registration certificate.

    Lovely web site, but (and maybe it is just me ) I dont know if its off putting telling Parents that they cannot sent their chosen food for their own child (ie meat) Not sure if Ofsted will see that following Parents wishes. Hope I've not over stepped the mark Jo ?????

    June
    I spoke to Ofsted about it at pre reg visit and she was very positive about it, she also said she wouldn't expect someone to go against their beliefs and religion to serve meat. She said people are buying my service and if they do not like it then they should choose someone else.

    Oh well that's ok then .
    Personally if I had a Parent who needed to feed their child certain foods for religious/beleifs I would accomodate even if it was not my religion/ beleif.
    Out of interest Jo would you refuse a child for being a meat eater ?
