Any assistant - your mum, your husband, a wo/man from down the road...

You MUST have a register and log them in and out...

You MUST note exact times they have been left unsupervised / alone with children...

Remember, an assistant can only be unsupervised / alone with children for maximum of 2 hours a day. If you need them to be with children unsupervised for longer than that they need to be a childminder in their own right.

Lack of register is a safeguarding and welfare compliance issue and will cost you your grade Don't let it happen to you! xx
