starting out

[gemma659353]

I have applied to ofsted and currently waiting for them. In the meantime I have put together a list of things I need to do once I have become registered.

Get PLI insurance, register for data protection and change my car insurance to business use.

Is there anything else I need to do?

I would wait to buy things like highchairs and buggy's to see what age of children you take on. If you take on a 3yr old then there's no need as its a big expense starting up.
