Do you want to care for children in your own home-based nursery but don’t yet have a valid qualification?
Or do you already hold a qualification but have little or no experience in home-based nursery care?
Then our modules Introduction to and Working in a Home-Based Nursery and Introduction to a Home-Based Nursery are just what you’re looking for!
Then this Introduction to Home-Based Nursery module is the perfect place to start! You’ll not only earn the required certificate for registered childminders but also discover what it means to work professionally in early years care. It’s an engaging and practical preparation for a rewarding and challenging career as a childminder.
Since 2014, it has been compulsory to complete this module before starting as a registered childminder. It ensures you are well informed, well prepared, and ready to offer high-quality care for babies and toddlers.
During the lessons, you will get a clear picture of the job content, the expectations, and the necessary skills. You will also reflect on your own situation: How will I approach this in my family childcare setting?
We will cover topics such as:
You’ll also take time to reflect on your own strengths and develop a personal growth plan. This will help you identify your talents and areas for development.
You start and end the module with a team meeting with your teacher. You work on the remaining topics independently at home. Your teacher will monitor your progress and is always available for questions.
Upon successful completion, you’ll receive an official Home-Based Nursery Care Certificate, allowing you to start work as a recognised childminder.
