Question

I would like to become a childminder but I do not know how much space you need in your home to provide care for children?

Answer 1

The formula is:

■■ children under two years: 3.5 m2 per child;

■■ two year olds: 2.5 m2 per child;

■■ children aged three to five years: 2.3 m2 per child

The standards are in the EYFS which becomes effective next week Here is a link.
