Basic Pre-Reg Support & Guidance for Childminders in England

Starting your childminding journey can feel overwhelming: knowing what to do, when to do it, and what Ofsted will expect. This simple, supportive package has been designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a clear starting point without the overwhelm.

Created by an experienced childminder, former teacher, and EYFS practitioner, this guidance brings everything together in one place so you can move forward with purpose and feel prepared for your pre-registration visit.

Inside this package, you’ll find:

• A clear, easy-to-follow pre-reg guidance booklet

• A simple step-by-step overview of the registration process

• A practical checklist of what needs to be in place before your visit

• Straightforward guidance on essential paperwork

• Helpful tips to support you in feeling confident and prepared

  
  

This isn’t about overcomplicating things or adding unnecessary pressure. It’s about helping you understand what actually matters, what Ofsted are looking for, and how to get there in a way that feels manageable.

Perfect for you if: You’re happy to work independently but want clear direction, reassurance, and a solid understanding of the pre-reg process.

A calm, realistic starting point to help you take your first steps into childminding - with confidence.

Please note: This package is designed for childminders in England only.
