A child is likely to have croup if they present with abrupt onset of barking cough, inspiratory stridor and hoarseness.

• Use of mist or humidified air is NOT an effective treatment for croup.
• Cold air has NOT been established as an effective treatment for croup.
•  Loudness of stridor is NOT a good indicator of the severity of croup.

Children with croup should be allowed to adopt the position they find most comfortable. If at any time there is concern about a child’s ability to breathe, an ambulance should be
called to take the child to hospital.

Severe or life-threatening croup

Call an ambulance

A medical trained doctor / nurse can give oxygen, adrenaline and nebulisation with oxygen if possible.

Great news, yesterday I had an Ofsted inspection.

The format was the Ofsted inspector came to my home and sat and observed my childminding techniques and skills. The inspector looked at my policies and procedures.

The outcome was a “GOOD” result which is great for my first initial ofsted inspection since becoming qualified.

There has been a development is pieces of jewellery for children. Traditionally, this has been centred on jewellery for christenings, such as bracelets and mini bangles, but the market has moved on.

This change has been part of the wider ‘kids getting older younger’ (KGOY) trend, as witnessed by the success of the Claire’s Accessories chain. This firmly targets younger teens and girls with a range of costume jewellery and accessories. Similar accessories ranges are now an established feature of the children’s clothing section in stores such as H&M and Debenhams.

As adults have picked up on the interest in costume jewellery, the purchase of real pieces for special occasions, such as birthdays, has become more established. For example, simpler pieces of silver jewellery are bought as the type of gift with a longer-lasting appeal, particularly given that children are outgrowing their toys at an ever younger age.
The market has now moved on even further with younger teens beginning to make their own investment in real jewellery, aided by high levels of disposable income. This phenomenon is evident among boys as well as girls, stemming from the success of the ‘bling bling’ music stars and earring-wearing celebrities, such as David Beckham and Will Smith.

Brands targeting the younger end of the market include Marmalade, Pistachio and Pagan Angel.

Early Years Single Funding Formula for childcare provision

All local authorities in England will be required to introduce the Early Years Single Funding Formula (EYSFF) from April 2011. The Government said that for too long, early years funding has been “inconsistent and patchy” across the country, with too many children, particularly from disadvantaged families not accessing any, or all of their free nursery education hours.

The Early Years Single Funding Formula will require all local authorities to be transparent about the funding that they are providing for free nursery education for three and four year olds – so that parents and providers are able to hold their local authority to account.

The Early Years Single Funding Formulawill also require local authorities to fund providers for the children that attend their nursery, rather than allowing funding to be wasted on empty places.

The Government said, “This will help to ensure that nurseries are making the best effort to fill their places by attracting and encouraging more families to take up free nursery education for their child.”

The Government has pledged to ensure that funding is focused on supporting those children from disadvantaged families who benefit most from nursery education.

Therefore, every local formula must include a deprivation supplement so that more money will be targeted at the children who need it most. This will be set locally in the short term, but we will look at whether – over time – it is feasible to introduce a “pupil premium” for the early years.

Visit a few childminders. Don’t try to get to know them over the telephone.

Arrange to meet with each of them to discuss your needs.

No childminder should object to a reasonable request to see those parts of their house and garden where they care for the children.

Before you visit a childminder, think about some of the things you are looking for, and make a list. Most childminders will welcome your questions.

Prepare a list of questions and issues that you want to bring up beforehand and make notes as you go along. This will be a useful reference to you later on and also places the arrangement on a more organised and professional footing from the start.

The world we live in today means that everyone is looking online for websites when making choices for purchases and services. It is for this reason that I have a website. My website which was provided to me by Chameleon Web Services has a in my view a nice clean and fresh look and the speed that the site runs at is due to the excellent quality hosting that they recommended.

The hosting is provided by FastVision a UK based hosting company that offer domain registrations and hosting.

Have a wonder hosting is great but getting people to be able to find is the hard part. This is known as Search Engine Optimisation and Chameleon Web Services provide this SEO service and have worked magic on the site. The site can be found searching for the local areas that I requested and the term childminder. Even when you search “Ofsted Inspected Childminder” my site appears at the top of Google in 2nd place, only Ofsted being above my site.

So a big thank you to Chameleon Web Services and FastVision for all the great work that has been carried out to-date.

This site is for parents and guardians seeking a childminder in the Birmingham area. 

Ther are so many childminders listed that are registered by Ofsted Early Years in Birmingham that is hard to select someone that fits into your personal lifestyle as everyone will have slightly different hours of working.

It will take time for parents, children and Childminder to build a relationship. The longer you have before you go back to work, the easier it will be, because you can step up your visits over a period of time.

Once you have arranged for the childminding place to be kept open by payment of a retainer, you can visit once or twice for half an hour or an hour, staying with your child, and then leave her for short periods, perhaps while you go shopping.

Say goodbye to the child and tell them very clearly that you will be coming back. When they see that you do come back they will feel happier about being left for longer periods.

Before you visit a childminder, spend some time thinking about all the things you are looking for in a Childminder?

First and foremost is your Childminder Registered and Insured? – this is absolutely vital.

Below are some suggested questions:

• Ask to see a current Registration Certificate which is the licence to practice as a Childminder.
• How long has the Childminder been registered?
• How long does she intend to continue to Childmind?
• What hours does the Childminder work?
• Is there flexibility on picking up times?
• Charges per hour/week? what are the charges for holidays/sickness?
• What training or experience does the Childminder have?
• Is she taking part in a quality assurance scheme?
• Does she have adequate insurance cover provided in relation to her childminding role?
• Ask to see her current insurance certificate.
• Can references be provided from other parents?
• Is a retainer fee required to keep a place open?
• Are there pets in the household? If so, where are they kept?
• Does the Childminder smoke or anyone in the household?
• Are there other people who will be in the house when your children will be there?
• Does the Childminder have a car? Will she take children to/from school/playgroup? If so, does she have appropriate level of insurance? Are seat belts/car safety seats fitted?
• What food is provided? What about healthy snacks? Are there extra costs for food?
• Is she prepared to cater for special diets?
• What are the ages of her own children?
• What sort of routine does she have? What other visits will be made as part of the days programme?
• How does the Childminder provide for a mixed age group of children?
• How many other children does she care for and what are their ages? Will they all be present when your child is there?
• How often does the Childminder take the children out and to where? Is there an outside play area? or a park nearby?
• Is there an emergency arrangement with another Childminder? If so, visit them also
• Are there plenty of books and toys available?
• What local amenities does the Childminder use – library, swimming pool, Parent & Toddler groups etc.
• Is there somewhere quiet for the children to rest or sleep during the day?
• Do the children seem happy and at ease?
• How does the Childminder fit in household chores? And how will this affect your child’s day?
• What is the settling in policy for new children?
• What is the behaviour policy for the setting, do you agree with it?

You may have a friend, neighbour or relative who is willing to care for your child and this may seem like the ideal solution.

But do not forget about registration and insurance!

Close relatives, like aunts, grandparents and sisters do not have to register but neighbours and friends certainly do.

They are breaking the law if they care for a child for more than 2 hours per day for reward.

You should also think verycarefully about the pros and cons of having a friend care for your child and paying her for the work. Many friendships have been destroyed through the additional pressure of this type of relationship. If you have thought about all the problems and still feel that you would like to go ahead then your friend will need to register.

This could take a few months so plan ahead.

I would suggest that you visit a few Childminders.

Do not try to get to know them over the telephone.

Arrange to meet with each of them to discuss your needs – most Childminders will welcome your questions.

Prepare a list of questions and issues that you want to bring up beforehand and make notes as you go along. This will be a useful reference for you later on and also places the whole arrangement on a more organised and professional footing from the start.

Try to be as organised as possible in your search for a Childminder. It is difficult to plan ahead if you suddenly find a job and need childcare in a hurry, but it helps to give yourself as long as possible.

It is not always wise to wait until shortly before you need a place. In many Birmingham areas, Childminders are in great demand and it helps to check in with a few at an early stage to find out if they expect to have any vacancies in the future.

Also, at this stage, if it seems difficult to find a Childminder who suits you, then you will have plenty of time to try further afield.

“My daughter loves going to the Childminder and comes home full of stories of the games and activities she has enjoyed. If I didn’t have the Childminder I would not be able to fulfill my goal of obtaining my degree … it makes it possible!”
