Description
Being registered as a childminder with Rutland Early Years or Ofsted (existing childminders are able to transfer from Ofsted to Rutland Early Years) is a massively rewarding career. You can however sometimes feel isolated, confused by the amount of information to take in and overloaded by paperwork. It may be difficult to get a straight answer when you have a concern, which can be very frustrating. As a regulatory body, recognised by Ofsted, we are here to help. We will give you a definitive answer, visit you when you are not quite sure, give you ideas to streamline your paperwork, and be there to talk to so you don’t need to feel isolated. We offer a little bit of a safety net that you may not get when registered with other bodies.

- Our full all year round support via email, telephone and social media
