It is a requirement to have done an introduction to childminding course within 6 months of registration.

You must also keep your first aid updated and it is very good practice to do some safeguarding training regularly.

It is good practice to check whether you need to do further training.

CR4.2 for the Childcare Register (voluntary) states -

Childminders must have successfully completed a:
 qualification at a minimum of level 2 in an area of work relevant to childcare, or
 training in the core skills as set out in the document ‘common core of skills and knowledge for the children’s workforce’.
