Hi, check out the Bromley Childminding website it's great for start up and other policies and you can just adapt them to your needs.
welcome to childminding. :)
hi
It depends on what the policy is, but i havent got any that are 30 pages long, 2 pages is my max and most of that is waffle, just carnt seem to reduce it, lol....
what about
safeguarding children
hygiene
sleeping babies
car
sickness
for example, hope these help

if you put all the single policies together into a booklet like above posts state then it would produce a 30+ page booklet policy!

All the course says "produce a policy for your setting to meet diversity within the childminding environment"
Its just becoming very hard for me. And wording it right. Im just about to head over to the Bromely site to see what i can find.

This sounds like a policy for Equal Opportunities. I agree with what the others have said, you need to look at Bromley site as they're great. Just remember you do not need as many policies as what they have on their website.
Do you have the EYFS welfare requirements as this will tell you what policies you have to have and what is best practice (don't have to have it but looks good to Ofsted and covers you from any trouble parents).

you will need to speak to your local Familes Information Service, attend a pre-reg etc. is this course additional to the ICP (Introduction to childcare practice)?
