Also how long do these courses take to complete as I will have to do it part time? Any idea of costs? When I have gained the qualifications, how much do childminding etc jobs roughly pay? I live in the UK.

hiya, i was a nanny for like 3 year but I didn't have any qualifications. I found my people on the net and things go on to www.nannynet.co.uk
I think if you want to work for a family they want you to have experience more then qualifications. But if you would like to be a nursery assistant ask in your local nursery's if they have any opening for a job..they always need people! Well, hope this helps!

if your not already registered you have to do nvq 3 have a health and saftey test carried out on your home, do a first aid course and some other courses are pretty helpful to. Its a really tough job in the fact that your smothered by ofsted so think about it! I'm an assistant childminder to my mum in school hols and its pretty tough with all rules and regulations now!

to become a childminder u also need to apply to ur local council, u will have to have the appropriate qualifications as well.. usually its a svq lvl 2 in childcare and education or above... i do live in scotland and laws may be different if u are not in scotland.. phone local council and ask.
ok u can study a NC lvl in childcare and education in about a year part time.. check out ur local colleges etc..

when i was training to b a nursery nurse a few years ago you needed a GNVQ at level 2 to be qualified , but i believe its been raised to level 3. each level should take 1-2 years to complete , im afraid i dont know about costs though.

You need to be a qualified paedophile. And degrees in health and social care, or child development help too!
But the paedophile thing mainly.
People are stoopid enough.
