A registered childminder (usually known simply as a childminder) provides care in their own home for children, for more than two hours per day. Registered childminders work to National Care Standards and must be registered with the relevant regulatory body for England, Wales Scotland or Northern Ireland before they can work with children. They are inspected regularly to ensure that they provide a stimulating and safe environment for the children in their care.
Legislation covering childminders and requirements in relation to registration, training, the age of children you can care for, and the professional associations you can join, differ according to where in the UK you are based.
This profile provides information about setting up in business as a registered childminder. It identifies some of the current market trends, the training available, and the practical and legislative requirements you must comply with.
