Food safety advice for childminders
The Food Standards Agency has launched a ‘Safer food, better business’ (SFBB) pack especially for childminders. The pack gives simple, straightforward advice on food safety.
Many childminders are now covered by food safety regulations and the pack has been designed to help them comply with these regulations with as little paperwork as possible.
It is based on the same principles as the other SFBB packs, but it is shorter, and has advice tailored to childminders, including information on feeding babies and children, cooking, cleaning, chilling and looking after a child with a food allergy.
As with other SFBB packs, the diary section of the childminders' pack is based on ‘reporting by exception’, which means childminders only need to write something down if they have a problem, or if something changes. A three-monthly review sheet helps them to reflect on the past few months and identify any persistent problems with food safety.
