Overview

This course outlines the requirements to become a childminder - including registering and working within Ofsted's guidelines. There is also training on the important topics of the Early Years Foundation Stage and safeguarding. This course is a great first step for future qualifications and helps meet Ofsted's training requirements (Note: This course uses England's EYFS Framework).


Working as a childminder is a very rewarding career but it also comes with many responsibilities, especially in respect of Ofsted and complying with their Framework.  (Note: This course uses England's EYFS Framework. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have their own versions).

By taking this course you will be able to demonstrate to OfSted that you are taking seriously the training requirements of the framework.

Candidates will undertake an online multiple-choice assessment and will receive a certificate if successful (any certificates from an official awarding body are sent to you via email).

Course Syllabus

  • Course Introduction

    In our introduction we will cover the overall structure of the course and detail the contents of the modules.


  • The Role of the Regulator and your Responsibilities

    This unit introduces the regulator and the Early Years framework they expect childminders to adhere to. It also covers step by step what you need to do to become a childminder.


  • The EYFS Statutory Framework

    Understanding the EYFS Statutory Framework is central to your meeting the requirements of the regulator. This unit also offers some insight into the way that children learn and are assessed by The Framework.


  • Safeguarding, Welfare and Inspections

    The safeguarding and welfare of Early Years children is of vital importance to the regulator and practitioners. In this unit we cover the topic in detail and finish by explaining how inspections by the regulator work and what the results mean to you.


Obtaining your certificate

You will need to pass a multiple-choice exam at the end of the course in order to gain your accreditation. Once passed, we will send your official certificate by email.
