Following requests from our very helpful members and customers, we have now added a further two useful risk assessment templates to the Risk Assessments Pack!
Exception To Ratios
The majority of childminders are permitted to care for up to six children under the age of eight at any one time. Of these six children, a maximum of three may be young children and only one may be under 12 months old. There are however circumstances that can arise where childcare providers may want to request an exception to these ratios for example to provide care for sibling babies or to maintain continuity of care for children already attending the setting.
We have added an Exception To Ratios Risk Assessment template to help you to assess any additional risks that must be considered as a result of the exception.
You may also find the Ratio Management Chart useful for helping to manage your ratios.
Pets
Do you keep pets at your setting? This template will help you to assess any additional risks.
You may also find the Pet Policy Template within the Policies & Procedures Pack helpful.
New BLANK Setting and Outing Templates have also been added to help you assess other areas or places you visit regularly or intend to take children to on an outing.
