As a registered Childminder, you’ll provide childcare for children under the age of 12 for more than two hours a day, within your own home.
Home-based Childcare
Home-based childcare is where children are cared for and looked after within a home-based environment. This could be in their own home, with for example, a nanny, or at their childminder’s home.
About Home-based Childcare
Home-based childcare is when parents chose for their children to be taken care of in a home environment, either in a childminders home or in their own home being looked after by a nanny.
Nannies provide care for one or more children in a family home and are employed through a personal contract with the parents. They may live in the home, depending on the family's needs.
Childminders are self-employed and registered to provide care for children under the age of 12 for more than two hours a day, in the childminder's own home.
