Hi,
I'm new to the forum, you lot look super helpful and experienced!
I am hoping to get my Childminder registration through soon - had my Ofsted visit, crb at stage 4 for over a month, first aid course done.
I have two children already wanting to use my service, one wants to start in 2 weeks. I offer three free settling in sessions before they start to pay, can I run these sessions while I wait for my registration to come through?
I am guessing not, but if I could it would really help the Mum out. I really don't want to do anything that would get me in trouble before I even started!

Many thanks,
Katie

Hi Katie welcome to the forum!

By law you can work for free before you are registered, however it is not usually recommended especially because you are not insured.

If something went wrong without insurance you would be in big heap trouble!

I hope your registration comes through quickly :D
