All children and parents will be treated with equal concern and will be made to feel welcome in my home. However, as child-minder registered by Ofsted, I am restricted to the number and ages of children that I can care for at any one time. These details can be found on my registration certificate, which is displayed during my minding hours.
I am registered to care for:
six children under the age of 8 at any one time of whom no more than three are under 5 and of whom no more than one is under 1. These numbers include my own children. I can also care for the same amount of children at my home per assistant i employ E.G if i employ 2 assistants to work with me then i can care for 9 under 5’s and 3 under 1’s and 9 between 5-8 years of age
I am happy to take on any baby or child within my registered numbers as stated on my registration certificate. I will not discriminate against children or their families for reasons such as race, religion, sex or ability. I would however like to make the following statements:
ยท I am happy to provide care for children with special needs, providing that my setting is suitable and that I have received the appropriate training to provide them with the care they need.
My aims as a child-minder are to provide children with a stable, loving and safe environment to play in, have fun and learn and develop to their full potential. All children will be welcomed into my home and I will encourage the other children in my care to support me with this. I offer settling in sessions in our contract, so if you, your child or I am not happy with the arrangement it can be terminated easily within the time frame of the settling in sessions. I have to take into consideration the children already in my care who are happy and settled. It would be very unfair on them to introduce a child who was disruptive.
If you have any concerns regarding my admissions policy please do not hesitate to discuss them with me.
