Hello,

I have a looked after child in my care for the past two weeks - full time. Very little information has been passed on from Children's Services and already this has already raised a Safeguarding concern for my other mindees. This is my first time having a Looked After Child as new to Childminding. It feels at the moment that the rule book in certain respects is being thrown out the window and no support! I am coping although in bed at 8:00pm last night!

I am just wondering if anyone else has had a Looked After Child and what records they kept as trying to ensure all t's are crossed and i's dotted as I suspect when Children's Services do decide to make contact they will be expecting something as well as I want to cover myself. Also as an EYFS child what happens with OFSTED when they come, what will they be expecting in terms of paperwork with this child? Has anyone been inspected with a Looked After Child in their care?

Many thanks in advance.
