HI everyone

I was wondering wear all your mindees take a nap, do any of you use travel cots ,or something else like a wooden cot already up

thanks :)

Travel cots in the living room.

travel cots in bedrooms.

Same here travel cots, usually upstairs with a baby alarm

Lie flat buggy and travel cot, one upstairs one downstairs

Buggy laid flat.

travel cots in DS's bedroom with a listener.

Lie flat buggy and travel cot, one upstairs one downstairs

Same here. One goes upstairs in a travel cot, the other prefers the lay flat buggy which I usually put in the lounge. I do have another travel cot but she prefers the buggy.

I have one wooden normal cot, one pop up tent type cot and lots of sofas.

The two babies have a travel cot each in their 'own bedroom' and the 2yr old sleeps on an airbed in the lounge-they all nap at the same time.Monitors are used in each of the babies bedrooms x

Travel cots in the bedrooms, but my development officer did suggest the front room if I didn't want to use the upstairs. Another CM I know does a mix of travel cots, free standing cot and buggy. She even had a written agreement from a mum to allow one to doze on the sofa, as it was the only place he would nod off!

Thank you everyone for your replys you are a great help :D

If we are at home they sleep on my sofa with parent's permission-ofsted had no problem with that.

Do you need permission from parents for children to sleep/nap on the sofa?
My mindee 33mths has napped on my sofa since he was too heavy for the travel cot. I haven't got signed permission from parents, in my opinion this is the best place for him to nap. He sometimes naps on the sofa in the conservatory too... again I haven't sought permission from parents!

Ofsted didn't ask to see written permission and were happy with me saying all parents were happy but you may get a strict one so best to add it to your permissions forms.

they needed a copy of birth certificate and a copy of my driving licience . I havent had a call to say anything else is missing so hopfully they will go through now :clapping:
