Hi Sarah C

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

You will need to contact your local council or families information direct (depending on where you live). I was invited to a pre-reg meeting first, then had to do a basic skills test and I am now 3 quarters into my pre-reg childminding course and it is fantastic. :clapping:

I hope this helps.

good luck! if you have your level 3 you'll just need to do your ICP and then first aid. Just be aware that it can take up to 6-12 months with all the forms and CRB's etc. but hopefully it'll all go through quickly.:)
