Re: leaving mindees in an emergency?
I've been told that in an emergency, another minder can take children over her numbers but should ring OFSTED immediately to let them know what is happening. I have several back-up childminders but have never needed them for emergency care, thank goodness and knock on wood! The last thing you need in a true emrgency is trying to figure out ratios and where to send everyone. I've also been told that if there are no childminders available, you can leave children with a responsible neighbour as long as you ring OFSTED soon as possible afterwards and let them know about it.
Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?
