About this pack

What’s Inside:

Individual Sleep Policies: Two customizable policies, one for solo childminders and one for those working with others, to share with parents and demonstrate your commitment to child safety. Child Sleep Plan: A detailed, optional plan to complete with parents before a child starts in your care, ensuring every child’s sleep routine is understood and adhered to. Weekly Sleep Record Form: An optional form to document sleep times, who settles the child, and more – a particularly useful tool for childminders working in a shared setting.

Why Choose the Safer Sleeping Pack?

Up-to-date Guidance: This pack encourages childminders to stay informed with the latest SIDS prevention strategies and government guidelines, supported by leading organizations such as the Lullaby Trust and the Scottish Cot Death Trust. Monitor with Confidence: While regular checks during naps are standard practice, the pack also recommends the use of monitors, ensuring you're alerted whenever a child needs attention. Promotes Healthy Rest: Sleep not only aids in recovery and immunity but also helps build critical neural pathways in growing children. The pack’s resources empower childminders to provide a safe sleep environment that supports children's overall development.

Designed to complement your childminding setting, the Safer Sleeping Pack is an essential addition to your toolkit, giving parents peace of mind and helping you maintain a safe and nurturing environment.
