had an idea

[Blackhorse]

not sure if something like it exists already or not but here is what I thought:

when I first joined the forum I was confused (even more than now!!) about some of the names and words like: ICP, EYFS, CC, ICP, Ofsted, Every child matters, these kind of things etc etc
I was also confused what applies where. So for example Scotland doesn't get eyfs but might have other things that england doesn't have...iyswim

Wouldn't it be nice to have a little sticky post for newbies with a little
''childminding dictionary'' thingy with a not of where it is applicable

we could make a collection of these terms and have a little explanation:
Like for example:

Care Commission:
Applicable: Scotland only
Overseas entities that care for children, the elderly and others.
Each Childminder needs to be registered with them before they can start minding.

What do you all think about that???

Sounds good, it can be confusing when you've just started.

[Andrea08]

yes it does sound good it could be in the FAQ part?

[Demonjill]

That sounds a fab idea Nicole.

[jibberjitz]

Sounds like a good idea

I like that Idea, something like the abreviations thread

Why not contact Pauline to see what she thinks x
