Do I need to have completed any further training. other than CYPOP5, to apply for the childcare register? :panic:

Thanks.

Not as far as I know. Just first aid certificate.

The requirements for registration on the childcare register are here -

Ofsted | Factsheet: childcare - Requirements for the Childcare Register: childminders and home childcarers (http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/resources/factsheet-childcare-requirements-for-childcare-register-childminders-and-home-childcarers)

You won't need extra qualifications if you have training in the common core or level 2 as detailed in the requirements.

You should ask Ofsted if you are unsure.

Hth :D
