Pre reg inspection over....now childminding!

[Jennifer Crooks]

Eeek so just had a 2.5 hour inspection from the care Inspectorate.
It went really well, although I feel drained now!
To be registered....now it feels scary! What do I do now ??

[JCrakers]

Wow.. well done

Welcome to the crazy world of childminding :D

Have you advertised? if not, then get the word out there asap.

Congratulations! :clapping::clapping: Like JCrakers says, get advertising. Mention to everyone you know that you are newly registered and how excited you are about starting work with new children and families.
Best of luck!

you will be fine :D

some mornings I wonder how I can do it, and I've been childminding for over 12 years!

start advertising, as your registration will be here soon. take it gently and don't rush to take every job offered to you. take one that fits in and you are happy with. start small and get bigger as you get used to the job. Good luck xxx

Well done! Yes I agree advertise now it won't be long until you have your certificate.
Trust me go with your gut instinct with families (I had my first potential family visit yesterday and it was truly awful so I've said no! Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and what you want!
Where are you based ?
