    thank you
    The only two things you must display are your reg certificate and Ofsted parents poster. Other things may be good practice such as first aid certificate, insurance etc. Some LA's require you to display certain things like safeguarding flow charts etc.

    The following is probably best:-
    1. Registration certificate
    2. Ofsted 'parents poster' (the one with the suitably pc group of children playing on a filthy nursery carpet)
    3. Naked portrait of George Clooney


    Item 3 is included since it is the only way to get mums to even notice that items 1 and 2 are there.

    Whatever floats your boat Bunyip! I can't say I've tried that one

    CMs are home based settings...no need for notice boards
    Just display the Ofsted certificate...that is must...not sure why but we must do as told!
    The Ofsted poster is not a must but a should.

    Nowhere in the flipping new CIF does it say we need notice boards...or the EYFS for that reason
    what we now need is 'teaching' skills and not so much paperwork....thank the Lord for the latter!
