Childrens files locked up?

[TabbyTuTu]

Every time I take my daughter to a playgroup and my becoming a minder comes up in convo everyone suddenly becomes an expert! It winds me up..

Yesterday however, a Mum informed me that all paperwork regarding mindees must be locked away. I was planning on keeping it all on a high shelf. Just checking whether what she said is right or not?
