u have obviously done first aid, what about a child abuse awareness course or a basic hygiene course, theres behaviour courses out there too. im busy doing NVQ level 3 in childrens care, learning and development, but im not childminding yet so have alot more free time for the moment, some ppl are also doing the DHC courses, a follow on from the icp, and others r doing some distance learning ones, not sure what they are tho. ask your local college or your area support worker and see whats available

Your local council should be able to help you as well

Depends what level you are starting from... you could either go straight in on a level 3 nvq childcare or start more slowly on a level 2...
There's lots of info in the past posts if you have a nosey around.
You really need to know what your local authority are willing to fund as well... I'd ring the CIS if I were you!
Good luck! :D
