Childminder Registration Process
We would like to share some information with you about registering as a childminder to support you in considering the role and the initial financial costs involved. We hope this will enable you to make an informed decision as to whether you want to continue and attend the introduction evening. Childminders can registered with Ofsted or a Childminder Agency. Childminder Agencies were introduced in 2013 as an alternative to registering with Ofsted. Childminder Agencies offer support and advice to the childminders registered with them. For further information about Childminder Agencies click here.
Before registration
Prospective childminders are required to attend a childminder briefing session. The briefing session is free of charge. Please email eyenquiries@solihull.gov.uk to express an interest.
