Hi Everyone
I'm new to this group as Ive only recently been thinking about setting up as a childminder. I've been reading a few of the other threads & am now slightly scared about what I'll have to do to get set up. :-D
I really don't have much idea about what I need to do to start the ball rolling apart from I've tried registering on a pre registration course today (they're full) & that I will need to do a basic food hygiene course & paediatric first aid. I should add that I do already hold a NVQ 3 in Childcare & Education.
I have a 17mth old boy so have the usual safety measures in place for a child that age :-D (stair gate,fire guard) what other sort of things would I need to look into regarding my house?
I have loads of questions so any information is great fully received :-)
Many Thanks
Trudy
