Mine are simple, and deliberately worded in a positive way, as in I don't tell the children/parents what they cannot do, but rather I tell them what I do want - expect for the last 2.


My House Rules

My workplace is also my family home and as such I expect all adults and children that I welcome in my home to treat me, my family and my belongings with respect.

I have a few house rules that all children will be taught and expected to follow whilst in my home. This is for the safety and well being of everyone.

Adults’ dirty or muddy shoes must be removed at the door.

Running, jumping, throwing, fighting or wrestling should be reserved for outdoor play.

Furniture is only for sitting on.

Treat everyone like you would want to be treated yourself, and keep hands, feet and teeth to yourself.

Please remember to use nice indoor voices with each other.

Older children are not allowed to pick up babies or small children.

Smoking whether inside or outside of my home is totally off limits.

The aim for creating these house rules is to provide a clear and concise foundation to the working relationship between myself, the children in my care and their parents. These rules will be introduced in a positive way to encourage the children to be respectful of others and to teach self-discipline. Your (parents) support is expected.

Depending on the age of the children get them to help you - amazing how much they will stick to the rules they have thought off and usually they will come up with the same ones as you.

Younger children I try to keep it short and simple was told once no more than 5 becuase you will lose the child with anymore.

I also try to keep it positive

Walk dont run
Treat other people with respect
Quiet voices inside

I've adapted my house rules from bromley website as I really liked the pictures that go with them. I've also printed out a big picture with the shoes (just blew up one of those on the bromley website) and stuck it on the wall in my hall as parents seem to think the rules don't apply to them.

Btw I think I read somewhere on here that we should call them BEHAVIOUR GOALS not rules as it has a negative meaning ... somebody is just being too PC in my opinion ....
