Hi all,
I'm looking for some help, i'm currently seriously contemplating becoming a childminder. I have spoken to my local council and will be attending a 7 day briefing course starting tonight.
However I was wondering what size does your home need to be to provide care within OFSTED regulations? My home is not that large and I am worried that it would not be acceptable.
My home consistence of:
Down stairs toilet and bathroom
A kitchen with small breakfast bar to sit two people round
Good size Living room
3 bedrooms - one of these will be used as a sleeping room for the young children that need naps - (3 travel cots can be put in here)
a good size garden
Would this be acceptable? This is the first time I have used this site so I apologies if i have put this on the wrong place,
Thanks
