Hi there, ive only done one so far so im no expert!! im currently working on my winter one! In my aut one, I did a few lines for each child, with a pic of them, which they and all the parents loved. I congratulated one little one for learning to walk, another for learning to say car, two of the older ones for their parts in the nativity and praised their efforts in learning their lines etc. I then included, school hols, a section on children in need and a few other current bits and bobs. I had my first inspection in Nov and the inspector really liked it, saying that it really made the children feel valued and a part of our little family! My next one will be pretty much the same but this time with a list of my holiday dates for 2011, a few moans, a copy of my ofsted report and my payment policy for them to all revisit and hopefully this time take note, hmmmm

A lovely newsletter, very well laid out

I only spotted one mistake...in New Toys/Equipment you have put 'in the toy room out'

Love the word search, i've never thought about putting anything like that in mine

**Mouse** · 30-12-2010, 03:55 PM

I always start off with the positive things, so I'd put about your new storage higher up the letter and make a bigger feature out of it (how much it will benefit the children etc).

**Chimps Childminding** · 30-12-2010, 07:21 PM

Looks good to me, and much more interesting than mine
