Hi,

The visitors book is an integral part of your child protection. You should be logging everyone who comes INTO your setting whilst you have minded children present and the length of time they stayed. Just in case there is ever any question regarding an incident with one of your children.

That wouldn't need to include parents who just drop off their children at the front door, as you sign the attendance register, only ones who may, for whatever reason, actually come in.

David

I agree with this. Whilst it's not mandatory to have a visitor's book it is very good practice and might help if there are ever any allegations made against you or the setting.

Thanks David, that makes it nice and clear :)

I use a signing in sheet at both doors. One door is the sheet for the children to be signed in and out on and if a parent decides to stay or comes in for whatever reason they also sign this one. At the front door I also have another signing in sheet (used to use one sheet for all which was fine with Mrs O on a previous inspection) and this is where all visitors sign in whether it is the gas man or my mum or parents in law. We have got people in transforming the garden and they are signing in and out each day even though they never enter the house when the children are here.
