This document was updated in October 2012.
If you care for friend’s children either in your home or any other home, you do not need to register with us as a childminder unless you are paid for doing this.
This factsheet gives more details about when you should or should not register with us, if you provide care for your friends’ children. It only applies to childminding. The arrangement set out below does not apply to other types of childcare.
If you do not need to register with us, you may still choose to do so by joining the voluntary part of the Childcare Register as long as you meet the requirements of registration.
