Parents should always check that a childminder is registered before using them. It is illegal to advertise as a Childminder unless you are registered with one of these organisations.
Childminders in Scotland must be registered with the Scottish Care Inspectorate.
In Wales childminders must be registered with Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW). We have a free online guide on Checking Childcare Providers which parents should read before you use any childcare provider.Ĭhildminders in England must be registered with Ofsted. You should ask childcare providers for references from other parents and you should verify these by contacting the person giving the reference to ensure they are genuine. Ask them as many questions as you can think of and get them to show you written proof of their qualifications, registration certificates, insurance and DBS checks. Always speak to them on the phone and arrange at least one face to face meeting, in a public place, before you use their services. Parents should do as much research as possible once they have found a childcare provider that they are interested in using. We are an online advertising platform and do not make checks on any of our members but provide lots of information, advice and tools to allow members to undertake their own checks.
