what can I do this evening

I have a couple of hours now the little one has gone to bed with the laptop. What can I get cracking on ready for when I start all my courses?
I dont want to start on policys yet until the briefing session in january (I dont want to spend hours writing them for them to be all wrong and have to be rewritten). Ive made a page to add to my welcome pack about what meals I will be providing but now I cant think what else I can be doing useful with my time?

Research... we all do things in different ways so go through files on here and on the Independent Childminders facebook group, pull off different ideas and think about what might work for you

I suppose you can never do too much research!

instead of starting another thread does anyone now if its worth buying the framework to have a look at before i start the course?
