Re: Concerned about costs?
alot of it is funded by your local authority
I knwo alot has changed since i did it but you normally have to pay an administration fee can be as much as £30.00 for some courses
Once you have started the process to become a childminder you will be given more details on where to gain course information for your area and how to go about booking
First Aid is around £170 BUT providing Ofsted have agreed to let you become registered it will oinly cost you £30
Remember to keep reciepts for courses and equipment to claim it all back as you start earning
Euipment ... write a list of things you will need so you can show them to the pre-reg inspector, dont go out buying everything straight away as you may find you will not use it all .... I bought a travel cot and have never used it, its 5 years old now so got rid of it, nothing wrong with it really but smelled like it had been stored too long lol
Busy losing the will to live mwuahahahaha!
