Hi again

I have been researching for days now and can't find ANYTHING about training to become a Registered Childminder/Childcarer in NZ

I am an OFSTED Reg. C/M now and would love to work doing the same when we move, but I just can't find anything !! Can anyone point me in the right direction please to ANYTHING lol

Oh and then does anyone actually *need* a chilminder once I'm trained up to NZ standards ?! lol

Thanks

I presume you mean home based child care? In which case, try

also

ERO are the folks who grant approval and monitor - in a similar fashion to OFSTED. http://www.ero.govt.nz/ero/publishin...tent/Home+Page

Where abouts are you headed? If it's the Wanganui/PN area, I may be able to help.

Are you coming to Auckland, if so, when? I desperately need a childminder! (for a 2.5 year old and 5 month old).

UKNZAUS

I'm hoping to be coming to Auckland - when ?? your guess is as good as mine! We're selling house then coming over so could be 12th of Never at this rate!

Although, I'm being pro-active now and today so far have re-painted the vestibule, bathroom and kitchen is getting done tonight along with the hallway (whilst kids are in bed and can't get covered in gloss!) It didn't really need doing but it's so much brighter now - maybe I'll sell my house now

Will have to train up in NZ more than likely, even though I have training here, I'll still need some form of NZ qualification/First aid etc !! I'll be advertising as soon as I can out there though

What the hell is one of these?

I would get a doctor round if I were you. Sounds bloody painful

UKNZAUS

It's that square bit of useless space by your front door !!!

It is painful, but I'm so proud - I keep going out to check out my handy-work! Bathroom is refreshed too - given a new lease of life!

Jack The Lad

You posh git!

I call that a letter box

UKNZAUS

Aren't letter boxes in 'Jackland' rectangle like the rest of ours ???

Jack The Lad

My confused friend you may have a point



PS What should have been ready when I said it would be ready is nearly ready. Couple of days hopefully

UKNZAUS

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay took your bl**dy time! Better be worth all this waiting ...

Jack The Lad

It will be only as good as you make it. A bit like sex only no fluids, I hope

Littletoe

Well, PM me as soon you're out! Good luck!

UKNZAUS

Will do - might be sooner rather than later if my email chat at this moment carries on the way it's going !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
