Hi so this is my third month of child minding and I am finding my feet in the general routine of the day, the children etc BUT it has just dawned on me from reading other posts about mountains of paperwork.. I don't really feel like im doing that much and I hope im not missing something terribly obvious and important...
So daily each child has a book which I use as a daily diary AND put obs in usually one a week per child or more if they do something WOW :)
I fill out a register every day and have a daily diary where I literally 'jot down' planning ideas definitely NOT much detail..
Ihavent yet written next step but know what each childs is and am alrwady working on it with them where should I be writing this how often do u set one and how complex? one little boys is ' be more independent with dressing self.. when started would not enterain doing anything imself now already he comes in from outside takes gloves and hat off and puts in bag
I am up to date with all my policies ( I think) try to do one online course/training a month last month did food allergy this month did one on prevent duty.
I have just started to think about beginning my SEF although again this is not a requirement but I have read up and it looks as though Ofsted like it..
I don't do school pick ups so no over 5s and that wont change so I guess that saves me a bit of work knowing I will only ever have 3 a day (4 if holidays over lapped extra days etc)
I have just found a piece of paper from my registration with lots of stuff written that I wish I had expanded on at the time as I forgot why I wrote it down but there are things like
registering as a food business- do I need to do this?
schematic play/schemers?
Liasing with professionals
any help or advise greatly received over here! thank you xx
