Childminder Assistant Interview Guide - Digital Download

Recruiting the right assistant is one of the most important decisions you will make in your setting. This Safer Recruitment Interview Questions guide has been designed to help childminders carry out thoughtful, structured interviews that prioritise safeguarding, professionalism and suitability to work with children.

Created by Chloe from The Early Years Edit, this practical interview guide supports safer recruitment by providing carefully considered questions that explore a candidate’s safeguarding knowledge, professional conduct, behaviour management approach and understanding of working with young children.

The questions encourage meaningful discussion rather than simple yes/no responses, helping you identify candidates who demonstrate safe practice, appropriate judgement and a genuine commitment to supporting children’s wellbeing.

This resource is ideal for childminders who are interviewing assistants for the first time, as well as experienced settings looking to strengthen their recruitment processes.
