Ofsted

Registered childcare providers and childminders have to meet requirements that relate to welfare and safety, the people providing the care and the organisation of the childcare. Child carers registered on the Early Years Register, who care for children aged from birth until 1st September following a child’s fifth birthday, also have to meet requirements for children’s learning and development.

What you can tell us:

• Is the childcare good?
• Can it be made better?
• Do you have any concerns?

If you want to tell us anything about your child’s childcare, you can ring: 0300 123 1231
