I have not started my Childminding matters course yet, I have my intro session next week but was wondering when it does start is the 12 hour paediatric first aid course and safeguarding course all part of it? or do I need to book those seperatly? Just wondering how everyone elses worked, getting nervous now but excited to get started lol :laughing:

Hi Kerry. I think it depends on your local authority as everyone seems to do it differently. I had a briefing session, then I went on the course. The cost of the course included the First Aid and Child Protection was included in the course. I would check with your LA though. I have my pre reg visit coming up on Monday!!

I paid for the cypop course and included was the first aid and food safety course. The safeguarding course has to be paid for seperatly but maybe this is just because of where I live.

I paid £150 for cypop course then, firstaid £52 and my child protection for free and food safety £13 separately

We still get it all for free here. Even courses such as equality and diversity, listening to babies, we also get the ncma start up pack. I have been very lucky.
