Visitors to the Setting Policy

As an Ofsted registered setting we are very aware of our role in keeping your child safe. Whilst children need to mix with other children and adults it is our responsibility to ensure the suitability of those that they come into contact during minded hours. We have therefore written the following policy regarding visitors in my setting during my minded hours.

Any regular visitors to my setting will be asked to complete a EYC2 form and will then undertake a Criminal Record Bureau Check

I will not leave a minded child in a room alone with a visitor, unless I know they have a valid DBS, for example another Ofsted Registered Childminder.

We will not allow any visitors to take minded children to the toilet or change their nappies.

We will request identification from all visitors not known to me and will refuse entry if We are unsure of them.

We will endeavour, when possible, to arrange for any maintenance work to my property to be carried out at weekends and during non-minding hours.

 We maintain a visitors book which is available for you to look at.

If you have any concerns regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.
