Childcare – Master Checklist and Document Index

About this document

What it’s for

The front sheet for the Childcare pack. It takes a nursery, pre-school or childminder through the EYFS policies and procedures Ofsted expects, safe staffing, and each child’s journey from registration and settling in to daily care, medicines, incidents and complaints. Each step names the template to use and links straight to the file, and Part 5 maps the main legal requirements to the templates that help you meet them.

When to use it

  • When you register with Ofsted or review your policies
  • For every new child and every new member of staff
  • At each review, incident or complaint

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  • Part 1 – Policies and procedures
  • Part 2 – Safe staffing
  • Part 3 – Every child
  • Part 4 – The annual review cycle
  • Part 5 – Legal and regulatory map
  • Part 6 – Full document index with a link to every file

How to complete it

  • Unzip the pack and keep all the files in one folder – the links open the other files from that folder
  • Work through the parts in order, then use the annual cycle each year
  • Tick and date each step, name the owner and keep the completed checklist with your records

Key points to check

  • The links only work when this file and the other templates are saved in the same folder – if you move or rename files, use the numbers in the document index
  • Laws change – check the current position before relying on the legal map

Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
