1) Please can you let me know the number of registered and practising Child Care Minders in Dawlish as of the 2nd April 2024 and how many, if any, have ceased practising over the past 12 months.
There are currently six childminders registered with Ofsted.
Information on how many have ceased practising over the past 12 months is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Personal Data).
Devon County Council can confirm the requested information is held; however, the Council cannot disclose personal information if releasing it would contravene any of the provisions in the UK General Data Protection Regulation. In this instance release of this information would contravene the first data protection principle and therefore the information is withheld.
2) Also please can you let me know of any (and if so, how many) potential child minders based in Dawlish who are in the process of being registered as of the 2nd April 2024 and when it is envisaged that the registration will be completed.

3) I would also like to know details of who the registered childminders in Dawlish are and what hours of the day, days of the week etc that they operate or how I can find such details.

Please note, in the future there will be a new public interfacing system called Find Childcare. Find Childcare will serve as the place for childminders (and early years and childcare providers) to publicise their businesses and be a system for parents/carers to search for childcare. As part of populating the Find Childcare information site, we have sent out a Provider Self Update (PSU) to all our childcare providers. Within this they are asked to consent to their information being on the Find Childcare system. The PSU is currently work in progress.
