Disputes
Your childminding contract sets out your childminding
arrangement, but you may also want to create parental permission
forms to help set out other aspects of your childminding
service.
Parental permissions are forms you can complete with parents to
show they have given you permission for certain activities, for
example, taking the children swimming or in your car.
Remember to think about the policies
and procedures you will need in your setting.
Although there is no specific requirement in the EYFS for
registered childminders in England to display written policies and
procedures, NCMA recommends that childminders keep written copies
of their policies and procedures to share with parents and
inspectors. Childminders in Wales must also make policies and
procedures available to parents.
There is specific guidance from Ofsted on their requirements for
written records on the Ofsted website.
