you dont have to have one in your own home only if your employ 5 or more people just have a policy and ask the parents to sign them

I had a problem with a parent walking up my drive smoking and then standing outside my back door to finish his cigarette....
I put a sign in my kitchen window (which is next to my back door)...
He stopped doing it the next day and I didn't have to speak to him or tackle the subject :D
There's some useful stuff to download from ncma here -

my network coordianator got all stroppy about no smoking signs and telling us we hadto show ours
i told her quite clearly that as noone smokes in my house i will not be putting a no smoking sign up and if ofsted don't like i then tough but it turns out we don't need one anyway

I don't think you need to (as everyone else has said) but I do seem to rememebr that if any room is used exclusively for minding then you needed one up in their - it conjured up lovely pics of the lo's having to put out their cigarettes before entering the playroom - sorry
