Thanks Ladies!!

Well I passed!!!

Although got 4 action points :blush:

1. Move Cross Trainer out of Hallway (Was expecting this one, DH wont be pleased!!) - (We have a big hallway BTW)

2. Fix front door lock, (We dont use the front door, just the side one, but she was not happy about fire safety)

3. Tidy cables from behind pc workstation (Either put a back on it or get a cable tidy)

and the fouth one only because I had some anyway was to move the bleach from the separate toilet, (which I did as soon has she left) (I had forgotten to move it before she came)


She went through a few standards, Tip is to mention Social Services when asked who you would inform re abuse etc. It took me a while to get to them she was pleased when I said them LOL!!!!

She looked round house etc.

Asked about how I was going to fill the kids days weather it would be a strict routine or be flexible.

Asked how/what I would do if a child was having a tantrum, I said sit down talk it through, have some quiet time with everyone.

Asked about equal oppurtunities, said I would get differnt toys, black dolls, books etc.

All common sense really, they help if you get stuck!!!

Well done

Angel xx

Thankyou xx

I can have 4 children, still not sure if this is on top of my own two??

Think it is, I got all confused!

Yeah i would have thought 4 + your own 2.

What age's are yours - generally they allow 6 children. Of these 1 under 12months - 2 between 1 & 5 or you could have 3 under 5 years, 3 between 5 & 8. These numbers will take into account your own children so i'm guessing your own are below 8 years.

Hope this makes sence :)

Just read that & i've not explained that very well at all!!

3 children under 5 - of these not more than 1 can be under 1 at any time
3 children 5 - 8years

Thats better :blush:

Ah yeah I thought so!!

Mine are 2 and 4,

4 year will be classed has 5 though from Sept has she starts full time school x

Well done :jump for joy:
