Hi all....
after 5 months of waiting, I have my pre reg visit this week...and I have gone into panic mode!
I have produced numerous policies already, but having just started going thru the pre-reg booklet, and filling it in (which I thought I wouldnt need to do, as I was sure I had all the answers firmly in my head, but they appear to have gone AWOL now!!). I am stuck on a few things, and wonder if anyone can offer some advice please? Also - my risk assessment for my home and garden....I just dont know what to inlude in it...and I cant seem to find any examples anywhere....I am sure I am overthinking everything, but I am going to have an anxiety attack at this rate! I feel so silly, but please if anyone can offer any advice, it will be HUGELY appreciated!
Look at each room of your house individually and look for any dangers that could affect a child - BATHROOM risk razors, chemicals -Risk of injury/poisoning low risk - all razors and chemicals put away out of sight and reach of children. Hot water -risk of scalding - low risk - water temperature set at lower temperature. Water - risk of drowning - low risk - children supervised, water never left in bath etc etc
7. How will you know that children are progressing in their learning and development, and how will you use this knowledge to plan for their further development?
You will follow their development through the areas of the EYFS
9. What arrangements will you put in place to develop a written assessment of childrens progress between the ages of 2 and 3?
For all children that attend the setting who are between the ages of 2 and three you will complete a two year check for the parent to share with the Health visitor. This is in files from 2012 and may be updated somewhere http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/fr...ss%20check.pdf and http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/fr...k%20-%20A5.pdf
And.....I know we can refer to notes during the registration visit, but can I refer to the Development Matters booklet, regards activities for the 7 areas of learning etc?
The inspector told me on the phone to have my Safeguarding Policy and Complaints Procedure ready......is that really all the P&Ps she needs to see?? I do have some others ready (Non collection; Accident and Injury; Behaviour Management; Equal Opportunities; Illness & Medications; Lost/Missing Child) but I am worrying that I may be missing something.
If they want you to do anything more they will tell you and give you a chance to put it in place
Please someone put my mind at rest or point me in the right direction PLEEEEEAAAASE xxx
