Voluntary Register with OFSTED training package
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO VOLUNTARY REGISTER WITH OFSTED
Duration: 1 Day – 6 hours in the Classroom & 6 hours Online
OVERVIEW
There are many reasons to register with Ofsted if you are a nanny or working as a childminder. Not only does it increase your professional status, it also allows parents to use childcare vouchers and other financial assistance to pay for your services. These are only available to childcare professionals who are registered with Ofsted.
Childcare vouchers allow parents to save National Insurance & Tax on the first £55 per week they earn. This means paying with Childcare vouchers is a cheaper option for them to pay for childcare and a reason why they would consider employing an Ofsted registered childcare professional over someone who isn’t.
As you can see, voluntary registering with Ofsted gives you a competitive advantage over someone who isn’t and will increase your overall employability.
To become registered with Ofsted there is certain criteria and training you must complete. We have developed a course that packages up everything you need to become registered with Ofsted.
