Where to put all my paperwork???

[child_friendly]

I have put everything from the following into their own A4 folders:
Accident/Incident forms (blank)
Medication forms (blank)
Learning Journals
Portfolio
EYFS stautory framework/ development matters
Risk assesments
Childminding contract forms (blank)
Visitor book
And any else I can think of (gone blank)......

I am just wonderng where to put all of these folders now...as they are sitting on my floor at mo. I am looking for cheap storage for everything to go in and that fits A4 folders etc i.e. plastic drawers, boxes...
Where do you put yours?? Any suggestions would be great and where to get cheap boxes/ storage etc.. Thanx

Mine go on a Billy Bookcase or in a large tin lockable file box which sits on the side in my kitchen.

I recently took mine all out of their lovely, neat but space consuming A4 binders, popped them into plastic sleeves and into a nice pink lockable filing box from Staples!

Ive got mine in poly pockets and in a wooden storage crate, would like to get a cheap filing cabinet though

[miffy]

All my blank forms are in an A4 folder. Anything confidential is in a lockable filing box

Right I have a bit more time!

I have the following:

RA folder which has: all my RAs, record of Emergency Escape Practices, All my Insurance info Pub Lib Employers Ins House Ins Car Ins for mine and dh car, Mots, Green Flag Membership, Crbs, Central Heating Checks, Car Seat Info, Socket Cover Info, HPA Lists, Poisonous Plants List and what I would do if a child ate one, First Aid Certs, Safeguarding Certs. I do not show prospective parents this folder it is for me and Ofsted.

Parents Feedback Folder with letters and cards from past and present parents and this is shown to prospective parents.

A Planning Folder with 12 dividers and topics that have been and can be used each month.

A Planning Folder with Templates in.

An Enquiry folder with sheets in to take down details if a prospective parent phones which I keep close at hand during the day.

A Parent Info Folder with:

A copy of my latest Ofsted Report
A copy of my latest Reg Cert
A Copy of my Contract
A Copy of Child Info Form
A Copy of Parental Responsibility Form
A Copy of Daily Diary Sheet
A Copy of All About Me Sheet
A Copy of Attendance Register page
A Leaflet about EYFS
An NCMA Leaflet about the benefits of Home Based Care
HPA Info
Socket Info
Copy of my Permissions and Consents Form
Copy of all my Policies
Copy of complaints Procedure
A funny poem
A sample menu
An idea of daily routine and where we go and what we do.
A few photos of my setting

Then each child has a folder with their Contract and all signed forms any letters to and from parents and their LJ with Developmental sheets

I have a little safe for the confidential stuff - about £50 from Argos I think
Then a shelf in our spare room for the bulky things
Then near our front door I keep LJs, register, visitor book, blank accident forms and previous injury forms, blank medication forms (basically anything I might need on a day to day basis)

I set up an online file sharing system for parents so they had access to latest updates of policies etc then when Ofsted come I can just print them all out. Saves a lot of space.
