Whats the first step in starting a at home daycare?

Answer 1

I'd find out if there is a need in your area.  

Find out the licensing requirements... and required training for your area.  Find out if there are any major things that will need to be taken care of with you house/property.  I live in MI, (U.S.) and it's on our State's main web page.

If you have any specific questions go ahead and email me.  I'm presently am licensed for family child care.

I'd speak to OFSTED (www.ofsted.com) and register as they can support you!

Also maybe contact local Children's Centre or ask your local council/local education authority if you can speak to Business Development Officer.

Do a web search for your county's Child Care Resource and Referral Office, they will assist you in getting licensed, CPR and first aid certified.
