Ofsted-registered childcare in the home. EYFS safeguarding requirements, phone and device rules, and managing other adults in the household.
As an Ofsted-registered childminder, you are running a regulated childcare setting from your own home. The EYFS statutory framework places safeguarding at the heart of everything you do, from the moment a child arrives at the door to the moment a parent collects them. This guide focuses on the practical reality of childminding: managing your own household's devices and screens, handling visitors and other adults in the home, recording incidents in a way that satisfies inspection, and keeping your safeguarding policy under review.
Childminders often look after a small number of children across a wide age range, in a setting where they are the only registered adult. There is no team to consult, no DSL down the corridor. The standards Ofsted holds you to are the same as any registered early years provider — and the inspection visit is short, focused, and unflinching. A clear safeguarding policy, well-documented incidents, and confident practice protect the children and protect your registration.
