The only thing you have to have on display is your registration certificate. The rest are things you might have to have available, such as insurance; others are just reccommended The reg. cert. is the only thing I have on display. I like my home to look like a home!! Everything else goes in a file

i'm pretty sure you have the necessary covered there!

the only thing i have up is my reg certificate and even that comes down at weekends

[venus89]

Blimey.

As I understand it all you HAVE to display is your registration certificate and the OFTSED parents' poater......

It is my understanding that the ones you have to have on display are your cert of registration and the Ofsted poster.

Thanks everyone.

I do feel as though I live in a Nursery sometimes, maybe after my inspection I will take some down.

Exactly what I did. I do have my registration certificate in a photo frame on a shelf as I am proud of that

Don't worry we won't tell anyone

[Ripeberry]

Wow! That's a lot. Even our local pre-school does not have that many posters up

[mississmoomoo]

You need your portfolio and essential that you have your CRB check for you and anyone else over 16 in your portfolio

[Pudding Girl]

Don't worry we won't tell anyone

No but the parents might mention it though that suddenly all these new things are out purely for inspection!

[kimbelina]

I thought it was just your registration cert and first aid cert that were compulsory, but I'm not certain.

And OMG you have so much stuff on your walls!!! How do you have any space?! I prefer blank walls where possible

[Jules12Wed]

One thing i've been advised to get is a comments and complaints book to keep by the door.

[Cazz]

Don't know if you've seen the other thread but there's a new parents poster which you can print off on the Ofsted website. It's got the new telephone number for Ofsted on it.

I would get it up as someone on the other thread said they didn't get an outstanding because they didn't have the most recent poster on display (it only changed this month).

Good luck with your inspection - mine's going to be anytime now as well. (Well it should have been tomorrow but that's another story!).

I was told the other day that we have to have displayed a floor plan of our home.

Not sure how true this is.
