Common Core Training for the Childcare Register (Ofsted Recognised).

About this course

This Level 3 CPD Accredited Course comprises of 4 modules.

Is this course for me? If you are planning on registering with Ofsted on the Childcare Register only, you must either have at least a Level 2 qualification or training in the Common Core.

The Childcare Register has 2 parts:

• Compulsory Part- if you will be caring for children from 5-8 years of age
• Voluntary Part- if you will be caring for children over 8 years of age, or will be working as a nanny in the child’s own home

You can register on either or both parts of the Childcare Register.

This course is aimed at:

• Childminders who are caring for school aged children only (year 1 and above- you would also need the Early Years Register if caring for children in reception year of school)
• Home based Childcarers (nannies) who are caring for children in their own home for no more than 2 families (if you wish to care for children from more than 2 families you would need to register as a childminder)
• Holiday and activity clubs
• Out of school clubs that are not operated by a school
• Activity based groups such as dance clubs, trampolining clubs, boating clubs etc.

The detail offered in your course is so much more indepth and thorough than other Common Core training I considered. After completing it, I feel thoroughly prepared for my Ofsted Registration and would thoroughly recommend this to others. Julie
