Anyone wishing to register as a Childminder in Leicester will be asked to complete a short skills check before starting the registration process. An assesment of the need for new childminders in your locality will also need to be made.
Once this is completed our Childcare Registration and Advice Officers offer two pre-registration visits to your home.
The first to inform you of the process of applying to Ofsted to register as a childminder and discuss training.
The second visit is to look at making the home environment safe for young children and discussing the ‘business’ side of Childminding.
To obtain a leaflet about Childminding and an introduction letter to our team call the Children’s Information Service on 0116 2254890.
