Past experience has helped me to understand how important visits and short stays are. I always encourage plenty of visits and build up the length of time, so the child feels safe, secure, happy and comfortable in my home. These are at a mutually convenient time, and depend on the needs of the individual child.

Policies

I have policies on:-

• Behaviour
• Sick Children
• Nutrition

These policies will be supplied to you in a comprehensive personal handbook on signing of a contract. They may be viewed at interview alongside my portfolio.

House Rules

There are very few house rules. I expect good manners and respect for each other and for my home. I only have rules for keeping children safe and happy.
