Hi there

You don't need to but although those courses gives you degrees, it doesn't really help you with home based childminding and how you have to have your setting ready for inspections and things like that.

You probably know already that you will still need to have First Aid, CRB, Food hygiene etc.....

I am also a pre reg. Just getting my house ready.

I would love to chat to some more pre-reg childminders too!
