Hi everyone new to this thinking about becoming childminder but not sure where to go from here i already have 3 of my own 7 months, 2 and 3 1/2 just wondered if someone could explain whats involved in setting up etc... Thank u

If you look under General childminding chat, there is a section on starting childminding which will point you in the right direction of what you need to do to register.:)

Do it before the agencies come in then you can be independent...unless you would prefer to be under an agency??

Have a look at this thread.

Btw you are only allowed a max of 3 children pre school age so you would have to concentrate on after schoolies to start with!
