Becoming an Approved Childcarer

The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) through the Sure Start Unit have announced an approval scheme that will provide recognised national status for individuals providing childcare, that is not otherwise required to register and is provided in the child's own home or, for children aged over 7, on other domestic premises.

The Childcare Approval Scheme is a voluntary scheme for approving childcare providers and enabling parents and employers to check if a carer is approved.

  • The process for applications began on January 2005.
  • It came into effect on 6 April 2005.
