Hi everyone, new girl here.

I'm thinking about becoming a childminder but it as it is such a big step to take i really want to make sure i've done my research before i commit to anything.

I've got a 2 1/2 yr old daughter and i worked as a teaching assistant for 3 yrs but that is the limit of my childcare experience. is this likely to make it more difficult for me to fill places?

what is the best introductory course to do and would that be enough to get started?

How much did it cost you to get set up?

What items would be essential?

I would be greatfull for any information you can give me,

thanks!
