Becoming a registered childminder in England means working through Ofsted registration before you can take on a single child — and that process alone has steps most people underestimate. This guide covers the full path from DBS checks and paediatric first aid to insurance, EYFS requirements, HMRC Self Assessment as a self-employed childminder, setting your fees, managing contracts with parents, and the practical business side of running a home-based setting.
Covers registration, DBS checks, first aid training, insurance, and setting up your home environment
Walks through pricing your services, attracting your first families, and building a waiting list
Written specifically for UK childminders — focused, practical, and free of generic business advice
