Hi All! Needing some help ASAP! I am looking into becoming a Childminder but dont have a clue where to start! I am qualified Teaching Assistant so have experience with children aged form 4 years to 6, I also have experience in working with autism and learning disabilties. I have basic first aid and food hygiene qualifications but I think a renewal/refresher would be of good use. I have briefly studies child protection and The Children's Act as part of my TA Course. But no where should I start! I have missed deadline for college so was thinking of home learning? Which courses ideally? Diploma in Homebased Childcare, Foundation studies in EYFS? Or would I have to go through my local sure start or could this be done easily on my own?
Help please if possible much appreciated! X:laughing:
