Panders Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have a position vacant for a Pre-school Assistant, ideally I would like a level 3 applicant, today a childminder approached me and asked about the job. She didn't know what level her qualification was, but she is fully conversant with EYFS 3etc., and we know her as she picks up one of our little chaps each week, Anyone know what level she is likely to be equal to? Obviously this is very early days I will be doing some proper research!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Panders - my lovely little black and white friend - does she have a DHBC - or somesuch - (that might not be quite right :blink: ) anyway if she has it will have a 'level number' associated with it - one of my staff team has one of those at Level 3.......

Panders Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Panders - my lovely little black and white friend - does she have a DHBC - or somesuch - (that might not be quite right :blink: ) anyway if she has it will have a 'level number' associated with it - one of my staff team has one of those at Level 3.......I sent her home to talk to Ofsted to see if they could shed some light. She didn't mention what she had, just said I've got my child minder stuff!. I like her very much, she has a lovely smiley, happy way and is always interested in what her mindee has to say when she picks him up, which is in sharp contrast to some parents!

hali Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 As a child minder she may not have a formal qualification but be an excellent candidate for the job with lots of eyfs knowledge and experience 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodlands1997 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I didn't think you could be a childminder now without having or working towards level 3? Or have I just made that up!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondie Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 could you check on the qualification tool audit thing - you put in the qualification and it says if relevant for you (i think lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
