As a registered childminder I recognise and respect the primary responsibility for the child is their parents and I will work with parents to meet the needs of the child in accordance with their wishes.
I will keep a daily diary for each child, recording information which will be passed on to parents, along with a verbal update when the child is collected.
The child’s progress will be discussed on either a monthly or quarterly basis. The time scale to be agreed with the parents.
I will only hand a child over to an appropriate adult who has been named by the parents on the contract. A password may be required, again to be agreed with the parents.
All records that are kept will be shared with parents, treated confidentially and stored securely.
