Gezabel Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 HI Yasminelle I just wanted to welcome you to the forum I am sure you will find your way around soon, it's a great place to be. I had no problem reading your English, do you mind me asking what your first language is? I am ashamed to say I have very little knowledge of other languages apart from a bit of schoolgirl french and italian!! I am sure others will be along to welcome you too and I look forward to getting to know you
HappyMaz Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I am sure others will be along to welcome you too and I look forward to getting to know you Of course we will: welcome to the Forum Yasminelle!

Helen Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Well, Yasminelle. you've done very well, so far! Welcome to the forum, and thanks for introducing yourself. We look forward to finding out a bit about your work.
JacquieL Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 I'd like to add my welcome too. You seem to be doing OK so far. Just take a bit of time to have a look around and don't be afraid to ask if you need anything.
Guest Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Hi Yasminelle, welcome from another childminder! I had no problem understanding your post either, well done for posting in your second language! Nona
Guest Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I have just been approved as a quality assured network child minder and would recommend it to anyone who is as serious as i am about the future of child minders. It is so nice to see an element of surprise on some parents and other professionals who learn that there is more to the job that meets the eye. I have enjoyed being assessed and feel it only adds to my vigulence to ensure my paperwork and risk assessments are all kept up to date. I also thinl it helps with advice face to face from my network assessor with the EYFS especially in this early days when alot of us are finding the way! My network co-ordinator, Di, is fantastic and has become a friend as well as a colleague - Thanks Di!
Guest Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Hi, I'm Helen, I have been minding for 3 years, and am new to this site. You all sound very friendly and knowledgable! I am in Wandsworth, SW London and I am not aware of any network here. How would I find out about it? X
Upsy Daisy Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Hi Helen, Welcome to the forum. You should be able to get some information from your local early years and childcare service. Not sure how it works in London but I'm sure someone who does know will be along soon.
Guest Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Hi everyone Noticed that not many rcms are posting in this section so I thought I'd share this with you all. Yesterday I had my first network assessment which was health and safety and although I've been waiting since January, we now have a network co-ordinator and the ball is rolling. She was extremely thorough, even lifted up the loo seat to see how clean it was and lifted up the washing up bowl to see how clean the kitchen sink was. Out of the 98 sections on the papers for her to fill in, I only had 1 action to do before she comes again in about five weeks and that was to put a thermometer in the fridge. I didn't think that was too bad and today I'm still feeling quite smug with myself. Regards You should feel smug you did really well congratulations Julie
HoneyPancakes Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Is anyone still involved in Children Come First? In our area the network has well lapsed due to lack of funding. Fortunately the network assessor and support worker who was made redundant, has set up a business providing the same support paid for by the setting. Well worthwhile it is too. Honey
