The Childcare Registration page is a three-month pilot to help new childcarers with the process of registering with the inspectorate.
The process, which Ofsted acknowledges is complex but needs to be rigorous, includes DBS checks, Ofsted inspecting premises, and discussing the self-evaluation forms.
The Childcare Registration Facebook page aims to answer questions, such as, ‘Do I have to register if I’m taking care of my friend’s children?’ The answer is ‘Yes – if your friend pays you to care for their children in your own home and you look after their children for more than three hours a day, you must be registered as a childminder with Ofsted or with a childminding agency.’
