Childminding
To become a registered childminder you need to go on a short course.

The course runs for one session a week for 12 weeks and 2 Saturdays (First Aid Training). Only one session can be missed, however, this does not include either of the information sessions as both must be attended in order to register for this course. For an information pack please contact us.
