As a child-minder registered by Ofsted I am very aware of my role in keeping your child safe. Whilst it is healthy for children to mix with other children and adults, it is my responsibility to ensure the suitability of those that they come into contact with when in my care. I therefore have the following procedures in place regarding visitors in my setting during minding hours.
- Any regular visitors to my setting will be asked to complete a Criminal Record Bureau Check.
- I will never leave a minded child in a room alone with a visitor, unless I know they have been CRB cleared for example another Ofsted registered child-minder.
- I will request identification from all visitors not known to me and will refuse entry if I am unsure of them.
- I will not allow any visitors to take my minded children to the toilet or change their nappies.
- I will arrange for any maintenance work to my property to be carried out at weekends and during non-minding hours wherever possible.
- I ask all visitors to sign a visitors book which is available for you to look at.
If you have any concerns regarding visitors to my setting please discuss them with me.
