hi everyone, I want to become the childminder. I have already send out all the documents to Ofsted, referees, gp references, done the first aid course and waiting for them to come for the pre registration visit.i held level 3
did anyone had that recently, what to expect, here are some of my concerns
-how to prepare the house, (ive got glass table, 2 sofas, lamps, small coffe table ) make as much space as possible? cover up all the sharp edges of the table, my kitchen is separate to the living room, do I need to buy the gate?can I have a plant in my living room, socket covers , any cables out of the way ,
do they check all the rooms or only the one children will be playing in?
- i have first aid kit, do i need to buy anything else
-im planning to buy the injurance the day before they turn up. im planning to use the app for all the documents and observation, to keep it paperless, do i need to buy this as well before they come ?
- are they checking your knowledge about the eyfs? or about the first aid course
-do i have to decide what age of children i will have , im still unsure if i will be doing pick up only or care for children under 1, as it really depends on the customers i will get,hard to predict that
-do they check if you have enough toys for the children ,
im jobless right now, and don't have money to buy anything, i had to borrow money for me to be able to cover the injurance fees, first aid course, and i need to pay for the app to have all the documentation in place
do i need things like potty, changing mat, cot bed if i tell them i might have babies in the house. my daughter is 8 years old and i no loger have these kind of things, i either need to buy them cheap or find someone who can give it away
please help me to be prepared as best as possible, this means everything to me, as I am desperate to start working as soon as they approve me.
thank you in advance
