I may have missed it and sorry if I have but I wondered if the other childminders on here would be 'up' for sharing paperwork. I work as a childminder and as supervisor of a preschool adn have found the attachments from other practitioners to be priceless!

i am actually posting this on behalf of a good friend of mine ( no really!!!). She has been a rcm for years and has had a wide variety of children.
