god that looks like tons in a list ! anything i have missed would be greatly appreciated
thanks guys

also do they look at financial records??? or just registers

Attendance registers, accident/incedents reports, medical administration & your contracts are there check points.

Financial details are noting to do with them so shouldn't ask to see them.

You look like you've got all the p&p's - do you do fire drills?

hanvt done yet as i only mind a baby and my son of 18 m so i would grab and run!!

I would write one up - they are very keen on them.

Just keep a record of mindees that have compleated a fire drill & on what date & time.

Then I also keep a record of what happened - ie where we were when it went off, which exit route & if anything was in the way etc

Keep it really simple & it will be no bother

:)

Make sure your equal opportunities one goes on about inclusion ...

They are very hot on inclusion! :D

I agree with katickles about the fire drill - Ofsted will be keen to know how you would get out if there was a fire.

The Bromley site has all the policies listed against the national standards so you could have a look on there.

Good luck
