Hi,

I phoned my local council and they gave me the number to ring for an information pack and to book on the course. I had to wait about 4 weeks until the course started.

I am just waiting for my pre reg visit now, I am getting very excited now and cant wait to start. :clapping:

Good luck

I would ring your local council. They will be able to direct you with who to contact to book the courses etc

above news is the best starting point, do it soon as i think the ext sessions of training for childminders would be january and you do a briefing before this! you do in halton anyway.
good luck xx
