About the Business

Currently it is not a legal requirement for Ofsted Registered Childminders to have written policies, however most Bromley Childminders now have portfolios containing some written policies. Policies are a great way to convey to parents how you conduct your organisation, look very professional and offer some protection if things start to go a little wrong. They are also great to show Ofsted how you are meeting a lot of the inspection outcomes. They could make the difference between 'satisfactory' and 'good' or even 'outstanding'. Ofsted do not expect newly Registered Childminders to have a whole range of written policies, but they do expect that any policies shown to them do reflect that Childminders practice and haven't just been copied from another Childminder's portfolio. Remember, a good Childminder will regularly review their policies making amendments if there are any changes in the law/standards and if something has happened in their own practice.
