Parent resources

Everything you need for a calm first visit.

A little preparation can make a new babysitting experience feel more familiar for everyone. Here's what families can expect when they reach out to Little Blossoms.

Before Chloe arrives

Share your child's routine

Let Chloe know about naps, meals, comfort items, favourite activities, and anything that helps your little one settle.

Leave the essentials handy

Keep nappies, wipes, snacks, drinks, sleep items, and any other everyday essentials in an easy-to-find place.

Talk through the day

A quick handover about your plans, contact details, and any important notes helps everyone begin with confidence.

What you can expect

A personal confirmation

Every availability request is reviewed personally, so Chloe can confirm the details with you before care is arranged.

Care in familiar surroundings

Your child stays in the comfort of home, with routines and play shaped around what feels reassuring to them.

Thoughtful communication

Chloe values clear, caring communication so you feel informed and comfortable from the first conversation onward.

Childcare policies

Clear expectations, handled with care.

Cancellation and notice

A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required if you no longer need care. If less than 24 hours' notice is given, 50% of the agreed amount will still be charged. Please tell Chloe as soon as possible if agreed care needs to be cancelled or changed. Chloe will also set out what happens if she needs to cancel due to illness, emergency, or circumstances outside her control.

Payment

Payment is due on the date agreed before care begins. If payment is not received on time, a late-payment charge will apply.

Illness and exclusion

Please share any illness, symptoms, diagnosis, or exposure concern before a visit. Chloe will decide with you whether care can safely go ahead, taking account of your child's wellbeing, infection-control guidance, and the wellbeing of others. Families should keep Chloe updated if symptoms develop or advice changes.

Safeguarding and emergencies

Your child's safety comes first. Please provide current parent and emergency-contact details, your child's relevant medical information, and clear instructions for your home. In an emergency, Chloe will seek urgent help where needed and contact you as soon as it is safe to do so. Safeguarding concerns will be acted on in line with Chloe's safeguarding procedure and legal duties.

Meals, allergies and medication

Before care, please provide written details of allergies, dietary needs, medication, doses, storage, and emergency plans, including any prescribed rescue medication. Medication is only given with prior written parental consent and clear instructions, and only where Chloe is trained, confident, and insured to do so. Families remain responsible for supplying suitable food, medication, and in-date equipment.

Late collection

If you expect to be delayed, contact Chloe as soon as possible and keep her updated. Any late-collection plan should include authorised adults, emergency contacts, and the steps Chloe will take if she cannot reach you.
