Hi and welcome to the forum, have a look round the starting childminding section, you'll find loads of info and any specific questions fire away!!:)

Have you done your pre-registration course yet? You should have lots of info from that to get you started!

Good luck with it all! :D

Hi
I had my pre reg visit from Ofsted last Friday and I was so nervous. It is absolutely fine, they are lovely. They are there to help you get started and they just ask you common sense questions about how you will look after and keep a child safe. Its not a test. I am so happy to be starting out on the childminding business and would say go for it. Dont let your Ofsted visit put yu off, honestly ime the worlds worst worrier and its no problem at all.4Good luck
