Policies, Procedures & Business Forms

Childminders must have policies, some of which are legally required in writing, and we recommend keeping all policies, procedures and key business forms clearly documented. Written records are easier to share with parents and Ofsted, help avoid misunderstandings, and make the business side of childminding more manageable so you can spend more time focusing on the children in your care.
