Hi,
I have an eleven month old daughter and since I have been back to work, albeit on a part time basis, I have started to think about becoming a childminder. Although I really enjoy my job, I would just prefer to spend the time with my daughter, which childminding would obviously allow me to do. My employment has always been with children and with special needs children in particular, so I feel childminding is something which would suit me.
I understand my first step would be to attend a pre-registration session where I can find out more, however I have not been able to find out anything about this in my area on the internet. I live in East Sussex. Could anyone help with this?
I would be greatful if anyone had any advice for me, particularly on the training in terms of duration and costs etc. I would also like to hear from any childminders who specialise in special needs, as I have a degree in Human Communciation Studies (speech and language therapy).
I look forward to finding out more. Many thanks.
