I've attached some notes from a q & a session we had with our local CCO's.
Hope some of you find it useful

thanks..have saved it down onto my drive to have a proper read..
the only thing is that each CCO can be quite different...but overall you would hope they all agree on important things...:rolleyes:

Thank you!
I am at the early stages of writing just now.
The main problem I have is getting information on the standards (updates since the 2005 version) and any other new stuff that's come through.
I don't want to be out of date or not have the facts right.
I do have a couple of moles though who have already been very helpful! :D

You have the same problem as us then, :laughing: Will keep my eye out for anything new.

Thank you George!
Yes I have that one...
I know there are new bits to add about fire safety and smoke alarms wired to every floor...
I have found new information about healthy eating...
I am aware that the focus for inspections is partnership with parents so I can waffle on about that...
I know Scottish childminders now need to wear disposable aprons and gloves...
Is there anything else guys please?? :D
