Hi and welcome to the forum, it sounds like you are from Scotland(?) so I'm afraid I can't offer you any help as I think things may be done a little differently up your way . Bumping your post up is all that I cant offer ....fingers crossed that somebody 'in the know' will be along in a bit to put you on the right trackxx

hello and welcome

I am not in Scotland either but this is the link for SCMA (Scottish childminding association) Become A Childminder | Scottish Childminding Association

There is a link on that page for the Scottish standards and the Care Inspectorate who register and inspect childminders in Scotland.

I am sure someone in Scotland will be along shortly

Good luck

If it's anything like CMing in Enland, you can achieve the same effect by tipping all your belongings on the floor, throwing loads of food in the bin, blocking your toilet, and giving away all your money.

Fun though........................
