First inspection is next week and I have a couple of fairly minor questions that someone may be able to help with, please!

I know all children should have their own towel, but can children from one family share a towel? Obviously they do at home.

Can I change a mindee's nappy in the same room that the inspector is in? Our downstairs is open plan so I'd have to take her upstairs otherwise.

I think I know the answer to this - I can't leave a mindee alone with inspector while I take another one to the toilet, can I?

Thanks.

Children should not share a towel because of the risk of cross contamination.

I change children in the same room as the inspector - it's where children are always changed and I explain I do not want to change their routine and risk upsetting them. I ask the inspector to please look away to protect their privacy - it's never been a problem.

I have left children safely playing and nipped to the loo. I always tell the inspector what I am doing - if necessary I would explain that it's much better that a child is playing than they are watching me!!

Good luck! :D

Thanks for the reply Sarah, and the good luck!

Good luck Suzanne, fingers crossed all goes well for you.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on

Firstly good luck!

I just did everything as I normally did TBH to not risk unsettling the kids.
