Thank you, it's nice to see people who've been through the process. I hear on here of other Childminders who've been through the process but I still find it slightly isolating when I'm at the university, when everyone else works in Children's Centres or nurseries. I knew nothing about EYPS before I actually started it ( ) and something like that would have given me a bit more confidence from the beginning. It's only now that I've been through the Gateway and had positive feedback from my Mentor about one of my written tasks that I feel there's a glimmer of a chance I may achieve the status, so seeing a Childminder who has is very positive.
