    Default overnight care?

    If I decided I wanted to offer overnight care what is the process to do this?

    Is there a form to fill out to apply to Ofsted for permission or is it a matter of just informing them?
    Do I require a new certificate of registration showing I am registered to offer overnight care? EYFS says must inform ofsted but doesn't make clear how!
    I will do a risk assessment and new evacuation procedure but what else would I need to consider?
    Child would always be in earshot as also required.
    Do children have to have their own room? or can it be their own space? Can siblings share? Do they have to be of the same gender if sharing? Could they share with my children so it was more like a sleepover?


    Is there anywhere that I could find out all this information?

    I have done it from the start and had a regular mindee3-4 nights a week
    You have to inform ofsted. Yeh very detailed risk assessments including bathroom he will use. All medicines razors etc put out of reach.
    I believe siblings can share.
    I think sharing with your child could be possible with parental permission but you can ask ofsted
