Paper work buy online / make my own ... where do I start?!
Hi all I am just starting out as a new childminder, I haven't registered with Ofsted yet as I am just sorting and organising everything.
Where would you recommend I collate all of my papework from. Should i pay for one of the online companies and have all my papework online in one place?
Buy the templates online.
Or ideally I would like to do my own paperwork with my own logo on and do the childrens journals etc myself, but do not know where to start.
Any ideas / help would be appreciated.
