    Sorry Pauline

    I should have said that I have experience from my former job as a quality assurance manager for a dairy, so I had a slight advantage
    It was 20 yrs ago so it's nice to know my brain hasn't turned to complete mush! lol

    and amazing that it hasn't all changed since then - it would have had it been childminding!

    Smile Re: Food Hygiene Course

    I've just been reading the emails I received from Virtual College re the food hygiene certificate.

    They've given me a code for me to give to other childminders. When you in turn sign up for the course, they credit my account with £5, up to a maximum of £25.00

    If anyone decides to do the course and wants to use this code, I will donate the money back to Pauline's Big Swig Fundraiser.

    Thank you Pauline. I have just completed and got 90%

    I must say I prefered it to sitting in a room for the day.

    Do they automatically send your certificate out to you?

    Thanks for this link Pauline.
    I received a letter from my local Environmental Health office this morning containing forms to fill in regarding my childminding food arrangements.
    Will get onto this course asap as it beats their offer of a food hygiene course for £60 plus 2 late evening classes!!
    Many thanks...will let you know how I get on

    Hi
    I just completed this course, would recommend, really simple to do. I did it in approx 2 hours. My local school had in-house training for the same qualification and it took a WHOLE day to complete. I will be going back for some of their other courses.

    I have had a call from environmental health asking what food I supply which is just snacks and lunch, they said they are carrying out visits on all childminders supplying food in my area (Essex). Has anyone had a visit? What will they do...root through my kitchen cupboards???????

    Well done Sarah

    As regards environmental health, they will chat with you about food hygiene, preparation and see where you prepare food, any pets etc.

    Have you got a copy of the new Safer Food Better Business for Childminders?

    There is a link somewhere.
