Dorset Council - Childminding briefing sessions
09 Apr 2024
Childminding briefing sessions provide an overview of becoming a childminder and the registration process. You can only attend a session within the local authority area you live within. This is a good time to consider childminding as there are currently government start-up grants available. These will be explained during the briefing sessions.
If you live in the Dorset Council area and are interested in becoming a childminder, you can attend a group briefing session. Please see below for list of dates, timings and venues. The sessions are free.
The sessions cover all aspects of becoming a childminder. Once you have registered with Ofsted the Early Years Support and Advisor officer within your locality will be in touch to carry out a pre-registration visit within your home. Fact sheets and step by step information on the process of becoming a registered childminder will be given out during the sessions.
Please note: these childminding briefing sessions are only available to Dorset Council residents.
