I have decided after years of dreaming that it could finally be the right time to start childminding!
I have been working with children for around 10 years in a nursery environment and have an NVQ3 in Childcare, learning and development and a degree in Early Childhood Studies. I have also got various courses, such as, safeguarding. However, these are for a county council I know longer live in.
I have looked up 'how to be a childminder' and google throws rather a lot of information at me!
I sort of get the general idea but I have no idea where the starting point is.
Going back to basics, whats the first thing(s) I need to do before I even consider child minding!? Is there a course I need to complete? Also, do I need other qualifications etc? Literally an info would be fab as I cannot figurer this out!!
Thank you in advance :)
