Free Return to Work Coronavirus Toolkit for Childminders

Helping childminders who are returning to work

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Childcare.co.uk produced a ‘back to work’ package for childminders to help them welcome new families and children back to their settings after lockdowns.

This package has now been archived because the Government has changed the guidance, but it has been left online to remind providers of the things they have done to support children and their families through this difficult time.

During Ofsted inspection, inspectors will ask about the impact of Covid-19 on working practices – the package has been archived but left online to help providers to remember some of the things they did to support children and families in their care.

In order to help childminders return to work after closure due to Coronavirus we have produced this FREE childminder toolkit containing free childminder contracts, free policies & procedures, free risk assessments, free paperwork, free webinars and lots more. PDF documents are free for all members and Word versions are for gold members only. All paperwork has been updated in relation to Covid-19.

Childminder Insurance

Am I insured to work during the Coronavirus pandemic?

The Childcare.co.uk childminder insurance policy does not exclude injury claims arising from allegations of injury from infectious diseases if caused by accident, however if the act is deliberate then there is no policy cover. You must ensure that you follow guidelines and regulations set by the government, your regulator and public health departments.
