My Policies

As a registered childminder, I have a number of important documents and forms to complete, if I start to mind your child. When you visit me, I will take you through all the documentation that we will be using. This will give you an opportunity to understand the professional relationship that will be formed between us.

Upon registration, I supply all families with copies of my policies for their perusal and future reference.
