Thinking of Becoming a Childminder? West Sussex Free Information Session

Welcome to the Thinking of Becoming a Childminder? West Sussex Free Information Session! This online event is perfect for anyone considering a career in childminding. Join us to explore key considerations and understand the registration process.

The current government expansion of funded childcare means there is a need for more childcare places, including those provided by registered childminders.

Childminding is a rewarding career for anyone who enjoys being with children and helping them learn and develop, would benefit from the opportunity to work from their own home, perhaps whilst also looking after their own children, and would relish the challenge of running their own business.

By attending this webinar, you will

• explore what being a registered childminder involves, including the impact this can have on family life, costs involved in setting up and other considerations
• know the requirements for registering with Ofsted/Childminder Agency
• know the process for registering on the Early Years and/or Childcare register

For people living in West Sussex only.
