Childminders: report new people in the setting
If you are a childminder, you must tell Ofsted within 14 days about new people aged 16 or over who live or work in the home where you look after children. This includes children who turn 16. If you are a childminder without domestic premises, you must tell Ofsted about new people aged 16 or over who help to provide care on the non-domestic premises.
Change made: Clarified that, in line with the EYFS September 2026, childminder assistants must not begin working at a setting until they have been confirmed to be suitable by either Ofsted or their CMA.
