Childminding organisations
I was just wondering what other authorities apart from Ofsted, The NCMA and Surestart regulate and asses childmindinding services and inspect childcare providers, Becuase i read somewhere it is not necessary to be registered with Ofsted if your registered with another authority.

Re: Childminding organisations
Ofsted
Childcare Any person rewarded for looking after children under eight for more than two hours a day must register with us. Those working in their own homes must register as childminders, while those working on non-domestic premises must register as day-care providers. If you are not sure whether you need to register, you can ring Ofsted's helpline on 08456 404040 for more information. |

Re: Childminding organisations

Re: Childminding organisations
You have to be inspected & passed by OFSTED to gain your registration number - you can't set up without it. Local authorities used to regulate childminders up to around 2002 then everything changed over to OFSTED and many childminders quit.

Re: Childminding organisations
Has anyone heard of a company called Blink Ed Ltd who produced resources for childminders and "All about me books" for children to fill in. I recieved a letter from them today offering me free resources if i would comment on them and make suggestions. From the sounds of it ill recieve quite alot. Has anybody had any dealings with them in the past.

Re: Childminding organisations
i did something like this for my children... it had all their details in, what they liked/disliked and i stuck bits of work in for their parents, makes a nice record for when the child leaves your care..
