I have been a nanny since 2008 and I like to become a childminder now but I am a bit lost how to find a online course. I have googled it and few came up but not sure if they are the right ones or I can trust them.
if anyone knows a good online course for becoming a childminder please help. I am a bit lost
Thank you so much in advance

I just saw your unanswered post . When I wanted to become a childminder (again as I'd been one for years before registration was even a thing) I contacted Ofsted and they had welcome to childminding session which gave all the information needed. Try that
I actually didn't complete my registration because I was aghast at how things had changed (ie with a previous baby who I had for 4 years from 11 weeks his parents wanted a family setting. So he came shopping with me, babygroups for my then 1 yr old. I did my washing and light housework with him by my side..I was told that wasn't allowed now..And don't get me started on the paperwork!!!)
