Child Care

Training for Childminders

Childminders are legally required to be Ofsted registered. As a Childminder you will undergo regular inspections.

Ofsted has high expectations of Childminders, a key requirement is a comprehensive understanding of The Early Years Foundation Stage Framework as set out by the Ministry of Education in September 2014.

This is one of the first course to provide in depth learning of the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

We understand the importance of Care and Education in these key stages of a child’s early years (0 to 5). As a Childminder you will play an important role in a child’s cognitive, physical and language development.

The Early Years Stage is when language skills develop most rapidly. Physically children are making huge advancements, far greater than at any other time in their lives.

Our Early Years Care and Education Course will assist you to understand your roll and the Foundation Stage Framework. The course will prepare you for being a Childminder and what Ofsted and Parents expect of you.
