Frequently asked questions

EYFS requirements for childminders: what do I actually need to comply with?
Every childminder registered with Ofsted in England must follow the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework, which covers learning and development, safeguarding, and welfare requirements, and compliance is non negotiable because Ofsted assesses it on every inspection.
Childminder ratios in England: how many children can I look after?
The EYFS sets legal ratios for childminders: typically one childminder to a maximum of six children, of whom no more than three may be under the age of five, and no more than one may be under the age of one.
What does Ofsted look for in a childminder inspection?
Ofsted inspects under the Education Inspection Framework, assessing the quality of education and care across four areas: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, plus a separate leadership and management judgement.
Childminder record keeping requirements: what must I keep and for how long?
The EYFS requires childminders to keep a defined set of records about children and the setting, with some records held for the duration of the placement and others for specified periods afterwards.
Safeguarding policy for childminders: what must it cover?
The EYFS requires every childminder to have a written safeguarding and child protection policy that follows the guidance of the local safeguarding partnership and is reviewed at least annually.
How to register as a childminder in England
To become a childminder registered with Ofsted in England you must complete a paediatric first aid course, pass a Disclosure and Barring Service check, complete a childminder training course, and then apply for registration with Ofsted, paying the registration fee.
