Briefings for prospective childminders and groupcare providers

 
If you are interested in becoming a registered childminder or groupcare provider, you must attend one of our briefings.

Briefings for prospective childminders

Childminding briefings are held at least six times a year and are run over two evenings, over a two-week period.

You must attend both sessions or you will not receive the application pack to become registered. The purpose of the briefings is as follows:

Day 1

  • provide information about the registration process
  • enable you to gain a better understanding of the National Standards for Childminding
Day 2
  • provide information about childminding
  • provide information about local support and the expectations of a registered childminder
  • enable you to decide whether or not to proceed with registration as a childminder

Briefings for prospective groupcare providers

Groupcare briefings are three-hour sessions run over one day.

The sessions are not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended that you attend if you are considering becoming a groupcare provider.

Further information

To book a place on either of the briefing sessions, contact the Families Information Service using the details to the right.
