I have trawled through the boards on here and looked everywhere and I still find it all a little confusing. Am i right that the process should be something as follows:
1) contact you local council to check their requirements for planning permission - apply if needed (also check space ratios for setting)
2) Get applicant to complete Ofsted EY2 form;
3) this should generate a DBS check for that person, the childminder should expect to pay about £52
4) Decide if they will be employed or self-employed (I'm going for self-employed I think) and notify HMRC
5) Book them on 12 hour paediatric first aid course if needed
5) Change policies, parental permissions etc as needed
6) Notify insurance companies
7) advertise for extra children and go for it!
....any glaring holes I've missed?
Thanks all,
