I have no experience in childcare except being a mummy to 2 kids. I have done childminding for 4 years now and love it. I would like to get some qualifications, but have no idea what to do. What would you do first ? nvq etc.

I'd go for a level 3 hon, whether it be NVQ or something different.

level 3 in childrens care learning and development. contact your local early years team to find out about funding and info on who may be able to provide the course
I'm doing my level 3 through Jace training which is a mostly online course, and part funded. My daughter is doing hers with Babcock training which is also partly online,but arranged through the nursery she works at. I found it hard to get motivated at first, but am getting into it more now. I know people that have done theirs at college as an evening course - they said they enjoyed it - I decided online to give me freedom to do it faster, and I don't have to commit to the same evening every week.
There is a lot to it, but there is plenty of help online and in books.
