This guidance provides you with practical information about registration on the Early Years Register.
It is not authoritative legal advice.
It will help you decide whether to apply for registration. It explains what processes your application will go through before we can decide whether you are suitable to be registered as a childminder on the Early Years Register.
The registration process looks at your ability and suitability to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage.
