Can you start childminding while you're pre-reg?

My neice is pre-reg but has been asked to mind 2 children. Can she do it? First Aid, CRB, Doctors forms all done but still waiting for 1st Ofsted visit.

no

she is pre-registration... she needs to be registered!!!

she would be better calling ofsted and seeing what the hold up is!

Are the children from the same family? If they are can she look after them in their own home until she is fully registered?

I have just started as a childminder and got my blue box from the NCMA I was wondering do I need to put the contracts ,etc into individual folders or can it be kept in the box I know its probably a silly question.
Justr not sure waht I am doing.

Thanks all!

That's what I thought, the children only live over the road from her, so I think she might look after them in their own home if time runs out.

I've told her to ring Ofsted anyway, just to check it's ok to do that and to tell them to hurry up!
