Childminder

Childminders usually look after other people's children in the childminder's home. They are self-employed and will take care of a limited number of children. They often form networks to help support each other. Childminders must have a suitable first aid qualification before registering with Ofsted.

Nanny

Nannies care for children in their own home. In some cases, the family prefer the nanny to live-in. Many nannies register with agencies to help them find suitable employment. Agencies generally prefer nannies to hold relevant qualifications at level 2 or above. If you choose to register on Ofsted's voluntary register, then this  can enable parents to take up the Working Tax Credit (if eligible).
