What is on a 6 week settling sheet?
If you have made notes about the child , what they have enjoyed , how they have settled . eaten , interacted ...this IS observation.
Your planning will be to offer x,y,z to help child settle..such as favourite toys , comforter from home , making a familiar faces book..whatever you are doing already!

I am a mentor to local childminders, and the local development officer will come to visit to help you too. Send me a private message with the area you live in Bristol and I'll see if I can help you out.

It's not about how much paperwork you've got - as long as you can show where the child was in their development when they started with you and what you've done/are doing to move them on this is what the inspector will want to see.

Mama2three has given you some great pointers. Good luck
