the essentials before starting

[tomthumb]

Hello, told you it wouldn't be long before I start asking my first questions.
So far, I have put together:
- policies
- childminding hours, fees, general info
- registration form
- menus
- long term plan
I have to sort out:
- car insurance
- house insurance
- change my liability insurance
- short term plan
- contract

an off course find mindees!!!!!
Anyway, my question is, is that everything I need on starting or is there something that I have forgotten. I have had my pre-reg visit and CRB check.

Also does it make sense to start planning now or do I wait to have children and know their ages so that I can plan activities according to abilities?
It just seems better for prospective parents to see a portfolio of activities but very difficult to plan not knowing age...Do I make sense???
Thanks for your help

Have you done your first Aid course ???

I would wait until you know what age mindies you will be getting, but you could write out what activities you can offer to show parents

you could always do some genral planning for festivals ect. would be good to show Ofsted also.

When I had my inspection I remember saying I know it's sad but I enjoy planning, sorting out paper work ect and it went down as good organisation skills (lol if you knew me better )
