My Policies and Risk Assessments

I have a Policy Pack that you can look through when you visit. It holds lots of information that tells you how I run my childminding business and how I care for your children. They provide a clear and concise foundation to our working relationship. They help to avoid any misunderstandings or confusion that may occur.  If you decide to send your child to me then you will receive a copy that you can keep. You have an opportunity to comment on my Policies-your opinions are important and help me to improve my practice.
