What is an Ofsted Registered Childcarer ?
A registered Nanny is a nanny who has joined the voluntary part of the Ofsted Childcare Register (vOCR). Nannies wishing to register with the vOCR will need to meet certain criteria. They Must; • Be able to show they have had appropriate training or experience covering the common core skills in childcare and are suitable to work with children. No formal qualifications are required. • Have public liability insurance. • Have a valid paediatric first-aid certificate. • Have an enchanced CRB disclosure; this will be done as part of the registration process. Financial assistance with the cost of childcare is available to some families in the form of employer supported childcare vouchers. In order to use these benefits parents must employ childcarers that are registered with Ofsted.
