Case Study
You are talking with a friend about your decision to become a childminder. She asks why would a parent leave their child with a childminder when they could choose a day nursery that is monitored and inspected to maintain standards.
- How would you explain the regulation and inspection of childminders to your friend?
- What documents could you show your friend to illustrate the rules childminders have to follow when setting up their business?
- How might you use the requirements for regulation and inspection of home-based childcare to promote your childminding business?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
