Visitors book

[berkschick]

I have a notepad I use as a visitors book.

So far, all I do is the date, time in and out and the name of ther person.

It is me who writes in it, not the visitor.

Will this be ok with OFSTED?

I do similar but i get the visitor to write in it and sign.

As far as i know at the mo, its not a requirement for ofsted, just good practise, so im sure it will be fine.

I asked my inspector to sign mne and she seemed impressed.

[Trouble]

not sure i havent got one yet i would get them to write in it i think and sign it

[crazybones]

I have only just started using one (nobody has been yet ) but I would think they have to sign themselves.

I have one but no entries yet, must be billy no mates

I will be getting the visitor to sign in and out though

Yeah I writhe the same as you - ofsted were fine with it on my inspection

[miffy]

I also have the reason for the visit so I know if it was a tradesman, new parent visit, another childminder etc.

I sign them in and out - my inspector was fine with that so I don't think it matters whether you do it or the visitor does it.

I sign them in and out - feel a bit daft asking my friends to sign in to visit me tbh!

Thanks guys, can you tell I am getting worried about the inspection?!

No just getting your house in order

You will be fine
